What to do step by step
- 1
Check whether your document meets the official automatic-extension condition.
- 2
Do not book an appointment only for extension if your case is clearly covered.
- 3
Check separately if you hold only a Fiktionsbescheinigung or another non-standard document.
- 4
Keep the official source available if an employer or authority questions the validity date.
Important
Automatic extension of §24 does not mean every other document or individual immigration case is extended in the same way.
