What still decides the file is the evidence: the historical registration record and the regional integration report. What it includes: checking the provable period of stay and which route fits best; requesting the regional integration report and following it up; electronic filing, receipt and answers to requests for correction. 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. - Criminal record certificate from your country of origin, apostilled and translated. - Means of support: contract, payslips or evidence of income. #### INDICATIVE TIMING We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Two years' continuous stay, since the 2024 Regulation. What has to be proved well is that continuity, usually with the historical registration record. DO I NEED AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT? Social-grounds residence requires evidenced means of support; a contract is one route, not the only one. We look at your case. CAN I WORK ONCE IT IS GRANTED? Yes. The 2024 Regulation allows anyone holding residence on these grounds to work. ### RELATED SERVICES People who come for “Residence on social grounds” often need one of these Public administration procedures too.
