Note(s)
In the EU context, the right of residence for EU citizens is covered by Council Directive 2004/38/EC (Free Movement Directive) which differentiates between the right of residence for up to three months (Art. 6) and the right of residence for more than three months (Art. 7). EEA and Swiss citizens enjoy the same rights as Union citizens within the European area of free movement.
