Apply for extension of residence permit for mobile researchers

Service Description

The residence permit for the purpose of research for mobile researchers is a temporary residence title. You can apply for the extension of the residence permit if you want to continue your work at a research institution beyond the period of validity of your residence permit.

Apply for the extension of your residence permit at the Foreigners' Registration Office responsible for your place of residence at least eight weeks before the expiry of the time limit.

For the extension of the residence permit for the purpose of research, the same requirements apply as for the granting. In particular, you should be able to present a hosting agreement or a corresponding contract with a research institution.

In case of extension, your residence permit will be limited again. The residence permit for the purpose of research will be extended for the duration of the research project. However, the stay in the federal territory may not exceed one year in total.

As a rule, the residence permit cannot be extended if this was already ruled out when the residence permit was issued or last extended.
