Migration law / Citizenship
New requirements for residence, conduct, self-support and knowledge have applied since 6 June 2026. They also affect applications that were still awaiting a decision.
Migration law / Residence permits
The changes affect the route to permanent residence for persons in need of protection and relevant family members. An extension must be distinguished from a permanent permit.
Migration law / Citizenship
From 12 July 2026, certain holders of temporary permits may qualify for an exemption from the permanent residence requirement. Other citizenship requirements remain.
