If necessary, regular review of the residence permit | Please check your residence permit regularly: If the duration of your doctoral project is delayed beyond the period stated there, you will have to extend the validity of your residence permit. If you change your field of study during your doctorate, you may need to apply for a new residence permit, as this may be considered a change of purpose. This also applies if you take up employment during your doctorate which exceeds an employment volume of 120 full or 240 half days per year. Especially in the latter two cases, please contact the Foreigners' Registration Office immediately. Please also remember to extend the residence permit of any accompanying family members in good time, if applicable. |
