Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to renew the residence permit violated Article 8 ECHR.
Decisão extraída
The interference was justified under Article 8(2) ECHR because the father had no particularly close relationship with the children and contact could be maintained from abroad.
Fundamentação extraída
A non-custodial parent with only visitation rights usually has no automatic residence claim; renewal is required only with especially close emotional and economic ties and faultless conduct, which were lacking here.
