Dear Mr. Nielsen,

Thank you for your query. There is no legal minimum length of
administrative detention of irregularly staying third country nationals in
return procedures, but requirements that must be met for detention to take
place (i.e. in the absence of such conditions detention is not possible in
the first place, or cannot be maintained and the migrant concerned must be
released).

Article 15 of the Return Directive defines the grounds and procedure for
detention in the context of a return procedure. In particular, it limits
the resort to detention, as a measure to last resort, to cases where there
is a risk of absconding, or where the third-country national concerned
avoids or hampers the preparation of return or the removal process. It
also establishes the principle that detention for the purpose of return
must be as short as possible and only maintained as long as removal
arrangements are ongoing. In addition, a third-country national in
detention must be released if there is no reasonable prospect of removal,
according to Article 15(4) of the Return Directive. On that basis, the
actual duration of detention will always depend on the individual case,
and be accompanied by appropriate judicial review so that detention only
lasts for the necessary period. This will not change with the proposal for
a recast of the Return Directive.

Information regarding the maximum length of detention provided for in the
Member States' national legislation pursuant to the return Directive, will
for instance be available in the study [1]'The effectiveness of return in
EU Member States' by the European Migration Network (in particular page
41).

Best regards,
