More information : For the sending of the files for a regularization demand by post only. No meetings on the spot.

The demands based on points 2.8 A and 2.8 B of the instruction ("long-lasting local anchoring") must be introduced or completed between 15 September and 15 December 2009 (included). Other demands can be done at any time.

Attention: the municipalities are only in charge of receiving the demands, of asking the policemen to proceed to the inquiry of the residence and, when these inquiries are positive, to pass on files to the federal Office of Foreigners. The Office of Foreigners is the only office authorized to judge the demands.

If a demand of regularization is already in the course of treatment with the Office of Foreigners or if the applicant already has temporary papers to stay, he does not have to send the file to the municipality again. He then has to send his demand by recommended mail, by e-mail or by fax to the Office of Foreigners.
