Procedure details
Description
The Residence Act regulates certain obligations for employers when employing foreign nationals. In the event of premature termination or discontinuation of employment, they must notify the relevant immigration authority. This authority can then check whether the period of validity of the residence permit has been shortened.
Even in the case of a tolerated stay permit and training residence permit, the foreigners authority must be informed if the training or employment relationship is terminated prematurely.
The notification must include
- Details of the employee (surname, first name, date of birth, nationality)
- Details of the employer (company name, contact name, contact details)
- Date of termination of the employment relationship
Requirements
The employment of a foreign person who was granted a residence permit for this employment was terminated prematurely or broken off.
Proceedings
The notification can be made informally to the responsible foreigners authority or via the form or online procedure provided by the foreigners authority.
The foreigners authority responsible for the foreign person in question, i.e. the authority where he or she is habitually resident, is responsible.
Fees
none
Deadlines
The competent immigration authority must be notified within four weeks of becoming aware that the employment for which a residence permit was issued has been terminated prematurely or discontinued.
The premature termination or discontinuation of training or employment for which a tolerated stay permit was issued must be reported within two weeks.
Special notes
A breach of the reporting obligation is an administrative offense and can be punished with a fine of up to EUR 30,000.
