Would you like to extend your residence permit? 

 If the Migration Office has issued your residence permit, you will automatically receive an appointment from us to extend it. In the invitation letter you will find all the necessary information and which documents you need to bring with you. This means that you do not have to make an appointment yourself! 

 Please note that this regulation does not apply to the transfer of residence permits. You can find more information on this in the service "New national passport: Transfer of residence permit".

A temporary residence permit must be extended if you wish to stay in Germany beyond its expiry date. A personal visit to the Migration Office is required for the extension. To make the process as easy as possible for you, we will automatically send you an appointment for the extension. In the invitation letter you will find all the information about the requirements and which documents you need to bring with you. This means that you do not have to make an appointment yourself. 

 However, you must bring all the documents specified in the invitation letter with you, as you must also prove that you meet the requirements when extending your residence permit. Otherwise, your residence permit cannot be extended.
