Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had a legal entitlement to renewal of the residence permit after separation from his spouse.
Decisão extraída
No entitlement existed because the spouses no longer lived together and the statutory family-reunification basis had fallen away.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 17(2) ANAG requires actual cohabitation with the spouse holding a settlement permit; the reasons for the separation are irrelevant if it is not merely temporary. Article 8 ECHR and Article 13 BV protect only genuine, actually lived family life, not merely hoped-for future reunification.
