Citizenship and immigration matters are document-led administrative processes. The applicant’s status, travel history, civil records, purpose and the specific legal route determine the required evidence.

Citizenship procedures

The legal ground, eligibility conditions, civil records and supporting documents are reviewed for the chosen application route.

Residence and work

Residence and work authorisations have separate conditions, authorities, validity periods and consequences.

International protection

Protection procedures involve status-specific interviews, evidence, confidentiality and review mechanisms.

Administrative and judicial remedies

Notification, objection and court-review periods may be short and should be calculated from the relevant decision.

These explanations are general information. Durations and rules to be applied may vary depending on the concrete case.
