The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the work allowed, any tie to employer or sector and family accompaniment.

The permission is for a stay of no more than 90 days within a period of 180 days. The official source does not state renewal or a longer-term residence direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
