Emergency assistance in the absence of a residence permit - students, university graduates, self-employed persons
Are you a student, looking for a job after graduation, or starting work for the first time, and do you need urgent help due to an emergency?
Description
Only verified emergencies will be processed.
What is an emergency? An emergency is an unforeseeable situation in which a document is required immediately, as failure to do so would result in damage.
This applies in the following cases:
- Imminent loss of employment or a job offer
- Imminent loss of benefits (e.g. 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.
Please do not come without an appointment ! We do not issue appointments or queue numbers on the spot. Emergency appointments are only available at short notice for the same day. Appointments are made available daily on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 6.30 am, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30 am. If you are unable to book an appointment online, please call our helpline to arrange one.
Beware of services that charge a fee: We expressly warn you against offers of appointments from other providers that charge a fee. Booking an appointment at the Service Centre for Immigration and Naturalisation is always free of charge. Please use only this website to ensure that you receive the service free of charge and reliably. Please let us know if you come across a chargeable appointment.
