Die Aufenthaltserlaubnis kann zur Ausbildung oder zum Studium zeitlich befristet und zweckgebunden erteilt werden. Der festgelegte Zweck und die damit verbundenen Auflagen gehen aus dem Wortlaut der Aufenthaltserlaubnis hervor.
Auf die Verlängerung der Aufenthaltserlaubnis finden dieselben Vorschriften Anwendung wie auf die Erteilung. Es werden die gleichen Unterlagen wie für die Erstbeantragung benötigt.
