<p>Each Member State implements the permanent residence requirements of the Free Movement
Directive (2004/38/EC) differently and information is not held centrally on the fees
charged for equivalent documents. For example, the Netherlands currently charge €51
for permanent residency, and this charge will remain the same for obtaining a status
under the Withdrawal Agreement.</p><p>Country-specific information, where available,
is detailed in the ‘Living in Guides’ which you can find at:</p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/2PJAHjx"

out the registration requirements and the rules of charging for permanent residence
that Member States must follow in their processes.</p><p>Under this Directive, a Member
State can require a person living there for more than three months to register within
a time frame, which should be no less than three months from the date of their arrival.
The Directive also states that a citizen’s possession of such registration documents
cannot be a precondition for exercising their Treaty rights. It provides that all
documents, including registration certificates and permanent residence documents,
shall be issued free of charge or for a charge that is no more than that which nationals
of the Member State pay for a similar documents.</p><p> </p>
