You will receive annex 46 in august sometime. It will be A permit. Student is counted as half so 3 years counted as 1.5 years.

New validity will be 1 year from the date of issue of annex 46. So it will be August 2027 validity

@pranav2424

thank you, One more question, please: During this one-year period, am I allowed to stop working for a while, or would that cause any problems?

@Safiu saf

You may stop working but for renewal of the residence part after one year, they require last 3 months pay slip.

@pranav2424

So the last 3 months he has to be working ? What if he finds a job 1 month before expiry does that means he cant renew ?

@Gvad45

This question needs to be asked to commune. I said what is written in the rule.

@Safiu saf

Hi,

Your resident permit will be still limited unless you don't complete full 5 years residency. (Study years count as a half of the total period). In my case, my card end date is calculated based on a 1-year period from the date of work permit approval by the Region, not from the date of Annex 46 approval.

my work permit approval date: 22/01/2026

my Annex46 date: 16/04/2026

my card expire date: 22/01/2027

(Even if my previous card will be expired May 2028, and I have a permenant work contract)

When applying for renewal, do you receive any confirmation that the file got sent to the immigration office?

@Typical

The work part has a sentence in the PDF..that it is sent to ministry for annex 46 and DONT CONTACT the employment department now. Because employment department has done its job.

@Typical

For renewal, ask commune. Nothing is online.

@pranav2424

I did submit all my documents to commune, but have no information following this or if they even sent my application

I received my Annex 46 on July 10, 2026, and the validity of my residence permit also starts on that date.

Can anyone who has renewed their residency with existing unlimited work permit share their experience? What happens after documents are submitted to commune, is there any confirmations that application got sent or just silence for 3-4 months?
