Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 18 April 2024, 11:25 AM)Residence Permit (RP): What shall I do if my RP is going to expire soon? How do I extend my RP? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: In principle, you will be notified by Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) when your residence permit will expire soon (within three months). It is fully your own responsibility to notify Registrar Office and submit required information and documents completely to extend your residence permit on time to avoid residency gap in your residency in the Netherlands. Kindly refer the webform and upload all necessary documents to request for an RP extension: RP extension form. Please submit the form at least 6 weeks prior to your RP expiration date. Then the Registrar Office could have sufficient time to review your files, prepare your RP extension application and send to IND. Additionally, please note
that we cannot submit an application for a residence permit extension of the
validity if the residence permit is still valid for more than three months. The IND
will disregard an application for an extension that is submitted earlier than three months before the expiration date of the residence permit Should you have any question concerning this email, feel free to contact us directly via email: registrar@wittenborg.eu. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 9 March 2021, 10:59 AM)Residence Permit Gap: What is the "residence permit gap" and the consequences if I have a gap in the residence permit period? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: A residence gap is an interruption in your continuous stay and may cause problems later on if you want to apply for a Dutch permanent residence. In general, a residence permit gap has affects in the longer term, if you decide to apply for a Dutch permanent residence permit in the future. In order to apply for a permanent residence permit, one of the requirements is that you have legally resided in the Netherlands for an uninterrupted period of five years or more before you make the permanent residence permit application. This means that you require to have had a valid residence permit for the full five years, without interruptions or gaps within this period. You have thus always applied for extension of your residence permit on time. Another requirement is that within these five consecutive years you have not stayed outside the Netherlands for six or more consecutive months, or three years in a row for four or more consecutive months. The consequence of a residence permit gap is that the period of legal residence in the Netherlands before this gap will not be taken into consideration. This means that you will have to start again building up a five-year uninterrupted period in the Netherlands to obtain permanent residency. For example: If your first residence permit is issued
from 01-09-2009 till 31-08-2013, and if you apply for residence permit
extension later than your expiration date (31-08-2013), then residency gap is
created, and the IND starts counting from that day onwards -- that day your application
form is received by the IND. Even a single day difference is recognised as a
residency gap. For more information and other requirements for applying the permanent residence permit, please visit: https://ind.nl/en/permanent-residence/Pages/permanent-residence-after-5-years.aspx Source: https://ind.nl | ||||

Answer: British students can still apply for a residence document under the Withdrawal Agreement on https://ind.nl/en/Pages/Brexit-(UK-Withdrawal-Agreement).aspx by 30 September 2021 at the latest.
