Detailed description
You will receive a certificate confirming the effect of your application if a decision on your requested residence permit cannot yet be made, for example because
- Documents are missing or the immigration file is not available,
- an ordered electronic residence permit (eAT) cannot be issued before the expiry of the previous residence permit or
- the outcome of criminal proceedings must be awaited.
The fictitious certificate is a temporary extension of your existing residence permit for 3 to 6 months with conditions until a decision has been made on your requested residence permit.
