Deputy Ministry of Migration: Temporary Extension of Residence Permits Due to Emergency Situation in the Middle East

The Deputy Ministry of Migration has announced a temporary extension of residence permits for third-country nationals residing outside the Republic, due to the emergency situation in the Middle East and its impact on air connections. The extension applies to holders of valid residence permits, receipts for renewal applications, and entry permits, with specific conditions regarding the period of stay outside the Republic. These measures are temporary and justified by the force majeure situation and are not attributable to the fault of the affected persons. The Deputy Ministry will reassess the situation for a possible extension of the measures, depending on the circumstances.
