Section 109. Scope

This chapter regulates the right to enter and take up residence in the realm of foreign nationals covered by the EEA Agreement or the EFTA Convention.
A right of residence under this chapter confers the right to take up residence and to accept employment or engage in business activity anywhere in the realm, unless restrictions have been imposed in accordance with provisions laid down in or under this Act.
A right of residence under this chapter does not prevent the grant of residence permits to foreign nationals as mentioned in the first paragraph in accordance with the general provisions of the Act.
The King may issue regulations containing further provisions on implementation of the provisions of this chapter and on the effect of the general provisions of the Act, including in cases where a foreign national as mentioned in the first paragraph is granted a residence permit under the general provisions of the Act. The King may issue regulations providing that biometric personal data in the form of a facial photograph and fingerprints shall be collected and stored in a card that documents the right of residence under sections 118 and 119. In such cases, the provisions of sections 64 a, 100 a and 100 b will apply correspondingly insofar as they are relevant.
