Type B for PhD residence permit?

[doktor_pickles]

Hi,

Recently my residence permit for researcher (OLEL_TUT) has been granted. But the type is B. Is this normal? Does that mean I may not be able to apply for permanent residence after 4 years study?

"A students residence permit is always temporary" Type B is temporary. See question 9 at the following link:
