Emergency assistance in the absence of a residence permit

You do not have a sufficiently valid residence permit, but need urgent help in an emergency?

Description

What is an emergency?

An emergency is an unforeseeable situation in which a document is required immediately, as failure to do so could result in damage. This applies in the following cases:

Imminent loss of employment
Imminent loss of benefits (such as unemployment benefit or a student loan)
Urgent travel for personal or professional reasons within the next three weeks (e.g. business trip, illness, bereavement)

The Service Centre for Immigration and Naturalisation will assess and decide whether an emergency exists.

Important note

Please note: A change of employer or taking up employment is not an emergency. Please use our online form for this purpose.
