This is an official ODERSA website.Here’s how you know

The official domain

The address of this site ends in odersa.org. Every service the association runs sits on a subdomain of odersa.org and nowhere else. If the address in your browser’s address bar does not end in odersa.org, this site is not ours.

Free, and no account

Everything is open straight away. No sign-up, no account, no password, no subscription, no advertising. Nothing is held back for those who pay, because there is nothing to pay for.

No data collected

This site does not follow you: no tracker, no tracking cookie, no measurement tool built into these pages, and nothing measured on your device. Our host counts requests in aggregate, as any server that answers does: a total, never a profile. You do not have to take our word for it: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and reload the page. You will see the full list of what the site asks for. Everything comes from odersa.org, nothing goes anywhere else.

Free to reuse

The content is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. You may copy it, translate it, print it and pass it on, for your classes as much as for the people around you, on one condition only: credit ODERSA.

Official redress

Real redress, in order

Three steps, to be climbed in this order: the official example shows the first one is often enough.

Law as verified onJuly 29, 2026

File EU 2017/1128

General information, not legal advice on your case. Every remedy has a time limit, often set by national rules: act early, and check the limit that applies to your case before you wait.

  1. The provider, in writing, from the app or its form

    As soon as it blocks

    Describe the blocking, cite Regulation (EU) 2017/1128, state that your presence is temporary and your residence unchanged, and offer two documents from the official list if verification is the issue. The sample story published by the official page ends with access fully restored after a simple complaint to the provider.

  2. The European Consumer Centre of your country

    If the provider stands firm

    If the provider stands by the blocking, the paid option or the paperwork inventory, the European Consumer Centres Network helps and advises on cross-border consumer disputes, file and screenshots attached.

  3. Consumer dispute resolution

    Last

    For a dispute that persists, the official page of the Union lists the consumer dispute resolution routes, country by country, with their official bodies.

Whether your actual and stable residence qualifies depends on your real situation: this site presents only the European baseline shared by the twenty-seven, never an opinion on a personal case.
