4.7.2.2. Freedom of movement
 

icon for freedom of movement

According to new rules in Slovenia, applicants are assigned to a municipality of temporary residence and they can only leave the municipality under certain circumstances. Unaccompanied children are exempt from these provisions.747  

Referring to its judgments from 2019, the Spanish Supreme Court ruled again that persons who applied for asylum in Ceuta and Melilla have the right to move freely and establish residence anywhere in Spain and the national administration cannot limit this right by virtue of their status as an applicant. Applicants only have the obligation to inform authorities about a change in their residence. The Spanish Ombudsperson reminded the Ministry of the Interior of its legal duty to prevent limitations on an applicant’s freedom of movement if they wish to move from Ceuta, Melilla or the Canary Islands to the peninsula.748
