Revocation of a residence permit granted by SIRI
Your residence permit can be revoked, if you do not meet the conditions, which your residence permit was granted on the basis of.
Your residence permit can also be revoked, if the basis on which your residence permit was granted, is no longer present.
A residence permit is granted on a specific basis and on a number of particular conditions. The basis and the particular conditions may differ from scheme to scheme.
A revocation depends on the specific basis and the conditions in effect for the residence permit in question. If the basis is no longer present or the conditions are not met, SIRI can revoke the permit.
You will recognize the basis as the type of residence permit you applied for, e.g. a study permit or the permit granted after the Pay-limit Scheme.
The conditions for your residence permit are stated in the letter you receive when granted a residence permit.
