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

• Imminent 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)
  

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

Attention
A change of employer or taking up employment is not an emergency. Please use our online form.
