Renewal Application
Example: CdS Salarié to CdS Salarié. Renewal of the same resident permit.
You must submit your resident permit renewal applications between 120 days and 60 days of the expiry date.
- Applications submitted within 2 months of expiry might have processing delays. They might also be subjected to a late submission fine.
- Applications submitted within 15 days of expiry might get rejected too.
- If you are planning to move to a different address in the same city or another city, then it’s better to submit the application after you move. However, the conditions explained earlier must be respected.
- The renewal process can take 2 to 6 months & sometimes even longer.
- Unfortunately, Nothing can be done to expedite the process. You can try contacting Défenseur des droits or a Lawyer but it doesn’t guarantee a favorable outcome.
- Submitting the application as early as possible is the only option.
Note: ANEF website does not accept any applications with expired resident permits
Status Change Application
Example: Changement de statut from CdS Salarié to CdS Passeport Talent or Carte de Resident.
You can submit your application to change the status of your resident permit category at any point of time, before the expiry date. You do not have to wait until the resident permit is due for renewal.
So, submit your applications within the deadlines and avoid any complications.
