Extend residence permit
-
Migration und Integration
Procedure
In good time before your old residence permit expires, you will receive an invitation by post for the appointment to check whether the requirements for extending your residence permit are met. You must bring all the documents specified in the invitation letter with you to this appointment.
If something has changed in your life situation that could affect the extension of your residence permit, you must also inform us of this and provide evidence if necessary. Therefore, please also bring documents that we have not requested but which could be important for the decision on the extension of your residence permit. These could be, for example
- Documents relating to your family situation, if this has changed,
- current decisions from other authorities regarding your personal situation,
- current medical certificates if you are unable to work for health reasons.
If you are unable to attend the appointment, please send us an e-mail to the address given in the invitation letter requesting another appointment. However, we would like to point out that in such a case we cannot guarantee that your residence permit can be extended in time for the expiry date. We therefore strongly advise you to keep the appointment sent to you.
If you have not received an invitation from us 1 month before your residence permit expires, please send us an e-mail requesting an appointment to extend your residence permit to mailto:office@migrationsamt.bremen.de
