Key legal question
Whether the appellant had a right to renewal of his residence permit based on marriage to a Swiss citizen under Art. 42 and Art. 50(1)(a) AuG.
Extracted holding
No. The marital household lasted less than three years, so no entitlement to renewal arose on that basis.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court referred to the cantonal court’s reasoning and found nothing in the appeal to undermine the conclusion that the statutory three-year cohabitation requirement was not met.
