Citizenship and Immigration Law

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.

This is general information. The applicable rules and time limits depend on the circumstances of each case.

Request an appointment

An appointment request is only for arranging the date and time of a meeting. Do not send documents or details of your matter; bring your documents to the office and hand them over in person when you attend. An appointment is not final until the office confirms it.
