Emergency assistance in the absence of a residence permit - employees, relatives

Are you an employee or family member who does not have a sufficiently valid residence permit and urgently need help in an emergency?

Description

We would like to be available for emergencies at all times.

However, if your request is not an emergency, we will have to ask you to come back at a later date. We regret that in this case we will not be able to deal with your case on that day. Please understand that we need to utilise our resources efficiently in order to be able to act quickly in emergencies.

  • Only proven emergencies will be processed.
  • Only fictitious certificates, toleration certificates or border crossing certificates will be issued.

You must book an appointment. Emergency appointments are only available at short notice for this day and the next. If no appointment is available, please try again later. New appointments for today and tomorrow will be added in the morning, at midday and in the afternoon.

What is an emergency?
An emergency is an unforeseeable situation in which a document is needed immediately, otherwise there is a risk of damage. This applies in the following cases:

  • Impending loss of employment
  • Impending loss of benefits (e.g. unemployment benefit or student loan)
  • Urgent travel for personal or professional reasons within the next seven days (e.g. business trip, illness, death)
  • Necessary extension of the tourist stay due to flight cancellations or inability to travel

The Foreigners Office will check and decide whether an emergency exists.

In this case, you do not need an appointment

Are you in an ongoing or finalised asylum procedure, entitled to asylum, a refugee or entitled to subsidiary protection?
