How long can residence permit extensions be?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 111 views

The length of residence permit extensions really depends on your personal circumstances and the type of permit you're applying for. While extensions are often granted for 6 months or 1 year, you might get a shorter or longer period in some cases. You absolutely need to confirm the most current information and the specific conditions for your situation with your local Ausländerbehörde.
