Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the lack of a claimed entitlement to renewal of the residence permit.
Extracted holding
The appellant had no enforceable right to renewal under federal law or the ECHR/Constitution, so the public-law appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
As an adult, he could not rely on family life vis-à-vis his parents or sister; his new family lived in Macedonia. He also did not meet the strict criteria for a protected private life, as no particularly intense social or professional ties in Switzerland were shown.
