Residence permit – adolescents and young adults
Tolerated persons or holders of the right of residence between the ages of 14 and 26 can receive a residence permit if they have integrated well.

Description
On 31 December 2022, the so-called Opportunity Residence Act came into force. Persons with tolerated status can obtain a residence permit under simplified conditions.
The residence permit is issued and extended for a maximum of three years. You must apply for a residence permit before your tolerated stay or residence title expires.
Spouses, life partners and underage unmarried children should also be granted a residence permit for a shorter period of stay, provided that a family cohabitation exists and the conditions for granting the permit are met.
