Your card is expiring and has to be renewed

Renewal of residence and work permits, with the filing window checked and contributions reviewed before filing.

Residence and work renewal

What is included

  • Checking the filing window and the period's contributions
  • Preparing and filing the renewal electronically
  • Follow-up, corrections and the residence card appointment

What is included and what is not promised

Renewal has a window before and after expiry, and filing outside it complicates a file that was going well. The second thing that decides it is contributions for the period: gaps have to be explained, not hidden.

What it includes: checking the filing window and the period's contributions; preparing and filing the renewal electronically; follow-up, corrections and the residence card appointment. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee the permit or speed up the authority: the immigration office or the ministry decides in its own time.

Documents you will need

  • Full valid passport.
  • Municipal registration certificate, historical if you have it.
  • Residence card or earlier decision, if any.
  • Up-to-date employment history and recent payslips.
  • Current contract or evidence of means.

Indicative timing

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 3 and 8 working days.

Renewal usually resolves within months and, filed in time, the previous permit is extended while it is decided.

See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

How it works

Estimated duration: 8 days.

  1. We identify the exact procedure

    We check which renewal window you are in and whether your contributions or means during the period meet the requirements.

  2. Document list and quote

    We ask for your current card, your employment record or proof of means and the municipal registration. Price agreed, fee apart.

  3. Filing and receipt

    We file the renewal electronically and keep the receipt, which proves your status is regular while it is decided.

  4. Tracking and corrections

    We follow the decision, answer any correction request and book the appointment for the new card.

What to have at hand

  • Full valid passport
  • Municipal registration certificate, historical if you have it
  • Residence card or earlier decision, if any
  • Up-to-date employment history and recent payslips
  • Current contract or evidence of means

Frequently asked questions

Mine expired weeks ago.

There is a window after expiry. Write with the exact date and we check today.

I have contributed little this period.

That is not automatically a refusal: means have to be evidenced and gaps explained. We prepare it that way.

Can I travel while it is decided?

With the application filed in time and, if needed, a return authorisation. We handle that separately.
