Questão jurídica principal
Whether the residence permit could be refused renewal under Art. 62 lit. b AuG after a long prison sentence.
Decisão extraída
Yes. A sentence exceeding one year counts as a longer-term custodial sentence, regardless of whether it is conditional, partly conditional, or unconditional.
Fundamentação extraída
The applicant was sentenced to 36 months for narcotics offences, so the statutory ground for non-renewal was met.
