Service Description

You can have your residence permit for the purpose of school-based vocational training extended before it expires if you want to continue your school-based vocational training in Germany.

The residence permit for the purpose of school-based vocational training is a temporary residence title. You can apply for an extension of the residence permit if your vocational training is to be continued beyond the period of validity of your residence permit.

Apply for the extension of your residence permit at the foreigners authority responsible for your place of residence at least eight weeks before the expiry of the time limit.

The same requirements apply for the extension of the residence permit for the purpose of school-based vocational training as for the granting.

In the case of an extension, your residence permit will be limited again. The residence permit for the purpose of school-based vocational training is extended for the duration of the training.

As a rule, the residence permit cannot be extended if this was already excluded when the residence permit was issued or last extended.
