Applying for an extension of the residence permit to carry out a qualification measure
Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)
Service Description
Have you not yet completed your qualification measure for the recognition of your foreign professional qualification? Then you can apply for an extension of your residence permit under certain conditions.
The residence permit to complete a qualification measure is a temporary residence permit.
If you have not yet completed the qualification measures and your residence permit is about to expire, you can apply for an extension. Reasons for not yet completing qualification measures are, for example, if
- You have to wait a long time for examinations
- You have to repeat an examination
The same conditions apply for the extension of the residence permit as for the issue. In particular, your livelihood should be secured for the duration of your studies.
Your residence permit can be extended for 12 months. In total, your residence permit for qualification measures may not exceed 3 years.
An extension is not possible if the foreigners authority has already ruled this out when issuing the permit or the last extension.
With your residence permit, you may work up to 20 hours per week independently of the qualification measure.
