Residence permit in the case of a deportation ban, apply for extension

Service Description

Your residence permit was issued for at least one year. It can be extended if the ban on deportation and the other conditions for issuance are met.

You must urgently ensure that you submit an application for the extension or issuance of another residence title (for example, a settlement permit) before the expiry of your residence title.

If the application is filed in time, i.e. before the expiration of the time limit, the further stay is considered permitted until the decision of the Aliens Department with all subsequent effects (for example, the right to pursue gainful employment). A late application (after the end of the time limit stated in the residence title) can result in considerable legal disadvantages.

Process flow

As a rule, you must apply for the extension of your residence title in person at the aliens' registration office responsible for your place of residence.

Arrange an appointment with the aliens' registration office responsible for your area. You can also find information about the application process and which documents you need to submit in which form on the respective website of the foreigners authority.

If your application is approved, the Aliens' Registration Office will commission the Federal Printing Office to produce the electronic residence permit (eAT) in the form of a check card with a new validity date.

For information on the duration of the procedure until the residence title is issued, please contact the relevant Aliens' Registration Office.
