The EU long-term residence permit is a permanent residence permit. It is similar to the settlement permit in many respects, but gives the holder additional rights in other EU countries
You are entitled to a permanent EU residence permit if you meet the requirements. The same documents are required as for a settlement permit.
In addition, a certificate in tax matters must be presented from the tax office. Foreign nationals who hold a residence permit for humanitarian reasons or for educational purposes are not entitled to a permanent EU residence permit. The only exception to this is the holder of a residence permit in accordance with Sections 25 (2) and 23 (2) of the Residence Act; in these cases, a permanent EU residence permit can be applied for.
