Hi Marta, I have read on this forum that one needs atleast 5 years of residency status before being eligible for permanent residence ? Please confirm that it is only 3 years!

In addition, I have also read that in general the student NIE is not considered as being a resident. So these years do not actually count. Is that so ?
