When can refugees lose their residence permit?

Authorities can withdraw or refuse the extension of residence permits for refugees on the basis on which the residence permits are granted.

People on the run must not be sent back to their home countries as long as they need protection. It has been settled among other things by the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN's Refugee Convention. However, the rules for withdrawal or refunds of extension of residence permits differ according to the basis of residence permits.
