Residence permit - change of conditions

Eine Auflagenänderung zur Aufenthaltserlaubnis kommt beispielsweise beim Fachrichtungswechsel im Studium oder beim Wechsel der Arbeitsstelle in Betracht.

The application for a change of conditions must be submitted to the Aliens' Registration Office prior to the intended change. The application must be formulated in writing. A decision will be made on the change of conditions.

The residence permit will not be extended.

Change when changing the field of study during studies

Since the residence permit of students usually expires by operation of law if the course of study is changed without the involvement of the Foreigners' Registration Office, an application must be submitted to the Foreigners' Registration Office in advance.

Change when changing the place of work

Whether gainful employment is permitted is already determined by the residence title. If the entry in the residence title reads "gainful employment permitted", any gainful employment is permitted. In this case, no further application is necessary.

If, for example, the entry reads "Employment only permitted with the permission of the foreigners authority", an application must be made to the foreigners authority for permission to take up paid employment. In order for the application to be processed, the specific job offer must be submitted and the employer must be notified as the contact person and the company number.

Before making a decision on this application, the Foreigners' Registration Office must always involve the competent Employment Agency. As a rule, the Employment Agency checks whether preferential employees are available for the intended employment. This procedure can take up to six weeks.
