Question juridique clé
Whether the authority had to enter into the reconsideration request or treat it as a new residence-permit application.
Solution extraite
The authority did not act unlawfully by refusing reconsideration; the later filing was effectively assessed as a new permit request, but no materially changed circumstances were shown.
Motifs extraits
A new application after a final refusal is only examinable if circumstances have materially changed or new important facts/evidence exist; here, the asserted changes were not legally relevant and were partly post-deadline or abusive.
