About this page
The interplay between immigration law and European law is a central theme of modern migration policy. While national residence law regulates the entry, residence, and integration of third-country nationals, European law sets binding framework conditions and minimum standards for all member states. Directives, regulations, and the case law of the European Court of Justice significantly influence how national provisions are interpreted and applied—for example, in relation to family reunification, asylum procedures, or freedom of movement within the EU. Schengen law and all European legal instruments relating to Schengen law and European freedom of movement also play a special role.
On this page you will find a collection of all our VISAGUARD guides on European migration law, Schengen law and European freedom of movement (including EU citizenship).
