Overview

The official status page lets applicants see whether an application is in treatment or whether a decision has been made. It says applicants with an approved application must make an appointment to receive the residence title, and documents to bring are listed in the decision under the AFHANDELING heading; online portal applications require logging into the applicant account to view status.

ℹ️ Who can apply?

You do not need a job offer or employer to apply for the Application Status and Permit Collection. This route does not lead to permanent residence. Open to qualifying applicants from all countries.
