Applicable fees for issuance of residence permits to third-

country nationals

1. INTRODUCTION

Residence permits are authorisations by the authorities of a Member State allowing third-country nationals to reside legally in its territory.1

This EMN Inform provides an overview of the applicable fees for issuance of residence permits to

third-country nationals (TCNs) as of September 2014.

It is based on information collected from 24 EU Member States and Norway2.

The Inform particularly examines fees under a number of EU Directives, which are outlined in Section 4. Please note that Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom have not opted into the Directives stated in

this Inform.

2. KEY POINTS TO NOTE

The fees that apply for the issuance of

residence permits vary significantly across

Member States. The methodology for the

composition of fees is usually dependent on the

cost incurred in the processing, manufacturing

and issuing of the documents.

With regard to the overall fee levels, the highest

fees are in place in Greece (up to €900), the

Netherlands (up to €861) and Finland (up to

€540), while the lowest overall levels are reported

in Hungary (ca.€33), Luxembourg (€50) and

1 EMN Glossary V 2.0 2 Ad-Hoc Query No 2014.543 on Fees for issuance of residence permits

to third-country nationals launched by LU EMN NCP and COM on 18th

March 2014 and Ad-Hoc Query No 2014.544 on Applicable fees for

residence permits launched on by NL NCP on 20 March 2014

Estonia (€63.91). In Belgium, overall levels are

low as well (basic fee amounts at ~€15); however

the amounts provided represent manufacturing

costs only, which may be complemented by local

taxes3 applied by certain municipalities. In

Belgium, the same basic fee applies for the

issuance of all residence permits, regardless of

the type.

In 8 Member States, first permit fees are higher

than fees for renewal of residence permits (DE,

FI, FR, HU, LT, MT, PT, SK).

Express issuance is available in five Member

States for a higher fee (BE, BG, LV, LT, SI).

Reduced fees are in place in the majority of

Member States and Norway for children, students

or pensioners.

Some Member States have made efforts to cut

red-tape. For example, in France, a ’one-stop-

shop’ procedure4 was introduced to speed up and

simplify the process of issuing a residence permit

to labour migrants who are not subject to market

tests.

3 The Law concerning taxes on residence for foreigners do not allow

taxes which are not comparable to those requested from Belgian

nationals for the issuance of identity cards. 4 Please note that the Single Permit Directive (2011/98/EU) introduces a single application procedure for issuing a single permit for third-

country nationals to reside for the purpose of work in the territory of a

Member State, in order to simplify the procedures for their admission

and to facilitate the control of their status;

2

A number of EMN NCPs have confirmed that the

fee levels do not differ depending on the duration

of the residence permit (BE, CZ, EE, ES, HU, LV,

LT, LU, NL, PT, SK). In the Netherlands, for

example, fees are not related to the lenght of the

residence permits. For instance, a residence

permit for family reunification is granted to a

maximum of 5 years and fees amount to €228 (€

53 in case of a minor), regardless of whether the

period of validity is 1 year or 5 years. In contrast,

fees can differ depending on the duration of the

residence permit in EL, DE and FR. In Greece,

initial fees and renewal fees range depending on

the number of years of validity of the residence

permit. Similarly in Germany, fees can slightly

vary depending whether the residence permit is

issued for one or more years. In France, higher

fees are in place for renewal of some residence

permits depending on the duration of the

extension (one or several years).5

However, the period of validity of residence

permits may vary across countries, which could

limits the comparability of the fees. For example,

in the Netherlands, residence permits for

students are granted for the duration of the entire

study.

Only fees for residence permits are part of this

Inform. Additional costs, such as fees for visa to

enter the Member State and for civic integration

are not included.

3. OVERVIEW OF RESIDENCE PERMITS

ISSUED IN 2013 The issuance of residence permits varies considerably

by duration and reason in Member States, depending

on the migration patterns and trends experienced.

Table 1 depicts Eurostat statistics on the first residence

permits6 in a descending order for total first residence

permits.

5 In France, higher fees for renewal of some residence permits

depending on the duration of the extension (one or several years): - Student residence permits: Renewal fee: 49€ for one year or 77€ if

the permit is valid for several years.

- Permits issued for the purpose of research issued in accordance with

Directive 2005/71/EC: Renewal fee: 106€ for one year or 200€ if the

permit is valid for several years.

- EU Blue Cards: Renewal fee: 106€ for one year or 200€ if the permit

is valid for several years. 6 First residence permits are defined as: “Residence permit issued to a

person for the first time. A residence permit is considered as a first

permit also if the time gap between expiry of the old permit and the start of validity of the new permit issued for the same reason is at

least 6 months, irrespective of the year of issuance of the permit.”

In 2013, 2,346,607 first residence permits were

issued to third-country nationals in the European

Union.7 The largest share (29%) of residence permits

was issued for other reasons, followed by family

reasons (29%), remunerated activities (23 %) and

education reasons (20%) – see Figure 1 below.

victims of trafficking in human beings under Directive 2004/81/EC and residence permits issued to unaccompanied minor as defined in Article

2(i) of Directive 2004/83/EC (non-asylum related).

The total number of all valid residence permits that

were held by TCNs at the end of 2013 was over 18

million8, the largest number of which were in Italy

(3,885,497), followed by Germany (3,542,944) and

Spain (2,705,144).

The United Kingdom does not operate a system of

residence permits. The Home Office data on passenger

arrivals, visas, extensions and asylum processes is

used to compile data for the UK’s equivalent systems9.

Based on this, in 2012, the United Kingdom issued

631,940 residence permits. Furthermore, the total

number of valid permits held by TCNs in the United

Kingdom was 1,630,322 at the end of 2012.

In terms of residence permits issued to specific

categories of TCNs, the total number issued with a

long-term residence status in 2012 was 7,153,323.

While in 2013, a total number of 12,850 EU Blue

Cards have been issued this figure amounted at

3,664 EU Blue Cards in 201210. Denmark, Ireland

and United Kingdom do not issue EU Blue Cards.

4. FEES FOR ISSUANCE OF RESIDENCE PERMITS PROVIDED FOR IN THE EU

ACQUIS

The EU acquis contains provisions for the issuance of

residence permits to a number of categories of third-

country nationals, as outlined below.

8 Eurostat, [migr_resvalid] 9 For further information see the UK’s User Guide on Immigration

Statistics: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/user-guide-

to-home-office-immigration-statistics--9 10 Eurostat, [migr_resbc1]

a. EU long-term residence permits

Council Directive 2003/109/EC concerning the

status of third-country nationals who are long-

term residents determines the terms for issuing and

withdrawing long-term resident status granted by a

Member State in relation to third-country nationals

legally residing in its territory and the rights pertaining

thereto. In particular, Article 8.2 of the Directive

foresees that Member States issue residence permits

to long-term residents, valid for at least five years and

if required, upon application, automatically renewed on

expiry.

Annex 1 shows that the lowest fees for issuing an EU

long-term residence permit are in place in Belgium,

where the basic fee for the permit is ~€15 and in

Hungary (~€33), Spain (€41.62), Luxembourg

(€50), Estonia (€63.91) and Romania (€88). In most

of the (Member) States under review, the fees range

between €100 and €200 (DE, MT, NL, PL, SK, SI and

SE). The highest fees are in place in Greece (€300 -

€900 depending on the duration of the residence

permit), Bulgaria (~€500), Portugal (€331.30) and

Italy (€273.50).

b. Permits issued in accordance with Directive

2003/86/EC (family reunification)

Council Directive 2003/86/EC on the right to

family reunification determines the conditions under

which family reunification is granted, as well as the

rights of the family members concerned. In particular,

article 13.2 of the Directive foresees that Member

States issue a renewable residence permit to family

members of at least one year. Article 15.1 of the

Directive foresees that after five years of residence,

and if no residence permit has been granted for other

reasons, Member States must issue, upon application,

an autonomous residence permit, independent of the

sponsor, to the spouse or unmarried partner and to a

child who has reached majority. Member States are

allowed to levy charges for the issuance of such

permits.

As shown in Annex 1, fees for such residence permits

again vary significantly across Member States. The

lowest costs are in place in Belgium (~€15) and

Malta (€25), while Norway (€632), Greece (€150-

€450), Bulgaria (~€272) and France (€260) have the

highest fees. In a number of Member States, the fees

are in the range €100 - €200 (DE, IT, PT, RO, SE and

SK). In Cyprus, the fee for family reunification

residence permit is €200 per application irrespective of

the number of persons it covers.

c. Temporary residence permit issued to victims of

trafficking in human beings and, when applicable,

persons subject to facilitation of irregular immigration, in

accordance with Directive 2004/81/EC

Council Directive 2004/81/EC defines the

conditions for granting residence permits of limited

duration to non-European Union (EU) nationals who

are victims of human trafficking or (optionally)

subjects of an action relating to the smuggling of

people and who cooperate in the fight against these

crimes.

The permit may be granted to non-EU nationals even if

they have irregularly entered the territory of an EU

country. Article 8 stipulates that the competent

authorities are responsible for assessing whether the

victim's presence is deemed necessary for the

investigation or judicial proceedings, whether he/she

has shown a clear intention to cooperate, and whether

he/she has severed all relations with the suspected

perpetrators. When these three conditions are fulfilled,

and subject to public policy and national security, a

residence permit of limited duration will be issued. The

residence permit is valid for at least six months and

may be renewed if the relevant conditions continue to

be satisfied.

As presented in Annex 1, a number of Member States,

residence permits for victims of trafficking in human

beings, and where applicable, persons subject to

facilitation of irregular immigration, are issued ex-

officio with no fee (CZ, EE, EL, HU, LT, LV, NL, RO,

SE, SK, NO). A number of Member States reported

that fees are in place (BE, BG, ES, FR, DE, IT, LU,

MT, PL). The lowest fees are applicable in Poland

(€12) and Belgium (€15.20) for the issuance of the

residence card) only; Italy (€16) and Malta (€25),

while fees are highest in France (€260), Bulgaria

(€250) and Germany (€100). (See Section 7

Conditions and criteria for exemptions from fees).

d. Permits issued for the purpose of study, pupil

exchange, unremunerated trainees and au pairs issued in accordance with Directive 2004/114/EC

Council Directive 2004/114/EC determines the

conditions of admission of third-country nationals for

the purposes of studies, pupil exchange,

unremunerated training or voluntary service.

Only the rules for students are mandatory. The

Directive foresees a set of general conditions (Art. 6)

as well as specific conditions for students (Art. 7).

Article 12 determines that a residence permit for a

student shall be issued for at least one year and be

renewable if the general and specific conditions

continue to be met. Art. 20 states that Member States

may require applicants to pay fees for the processing

of applications.

As illustrated in Annex 1, fees pursuant to Directive

2004/114/EC range considerably among Member

States with the lowest fees in Slovenia (€13 for pupils

and volunteers and €66.54 for trainees and students)

and the highest in Norway (€303 for all groups and

€364 for apprentices) and the Netherlands (€304 for

students). In the Netherlands, residence permits for

students are granted for the duration of the study and

thus, a renewal is not necessary during the studying

period. Students applying for a temporary residence

permit for the purpose of study are exempt from the

administrative fee in the Slovak Republic.

e. Permits issued for the purpose of research issued in


Council Directive 2005/71/EC creates a specific

admission procedure for third-country nationals for the

purposes of scientific research. The conditions for

admission are laid down in Article 7, while Article 8

determines that the residence permit shall be issued

for a period of at least one year if the conditions are

met, and be renewable if the conditions continue to be

met. Recital 21 states that Member States should have

the right to charge applicants for the processing of

applications.

Fees applied to the issuance of this category of permits

significantly vary across Member States, from €15.20

in Belgium up to €304 in the Netherlands and €303

plus €36 cost of the residence card in Norway. In

some Member States the fees include the cost of a

residence card and other fees (BE,BG, EE, FR, DE,

EL, HU, IT, LV, LU, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SE)

while a few others charge only administrative duties

(RO). In Slovak Republic no fees are applied for the

permit. In Germany and Greece the fees change

depending on the duration of the permit. For example,

in Germany the cost is 10% higher if the permit is

issued with a validity of more than a year and Greece

requires a fee of €150 per year of research contract of

the applicant.

f. EU Blue Cards, issued in accordance with Directive

2009/50/EC, including for family members falling under the scope of this Directive.

Council Directive 2009/50/EC on the conditions of

entry and residence of third-country nationals for the

purposes of highly qualified employment (the EU ‘Blue

Card Directive’) facilitates access to the labour market

and entitles holders to socio-economic rights and

favourable conditions for family reunification and

mobility within the EU. In particular, Article 7 of the

Directive foresees that a third-country national who

5

has applied and fulfils the requirements set out in Art.

5 and for whom the competent authorities have taken

a positive decision in accordance with Article 8 shall be

issued with an EU Blue Card. Member States are

allowed to levy charges for the issuance of the ‘EU

Blue Card’ permit.

Fees again vary widely, the lowest fees are provided in

Belgium, where the basic fee for the permit is ~€15,

while the highest fees are in Bulgaria (€480) and

Netherlands (€861). Medium values are, for example,

in Slovenia and Hungary which apply a fee of €60;

Czech Republic, Estonia11, Poland and Germany

around €100; finally, the fee in France, Italy,

Portugal and Sweden is over €200. In some cases

(e.g. HU and SK) the fees slightly vary depending on

whether the application is made in the Member State

or abroad, through a Diplomatic mission.

g. Permits falling under the scope of "Single Permit" Directive 2011/98/EU

Directive 2011/98/EU (so called “Single Permit

Directive”) became operational in the Member States

at the latest on 25th December 2013. Article 10 refers

to fees and states that "Member States may require

applicants to pay fees, where appropriate, for handling

applications in accordance with this Directive. The level

of such fees shall be proportionate and may be based

on the services actually provided for the processing of

applications and the issuance of permits."

This Directive applies to certain residence permits

issued under EU law (e.g. family members admitted

under family reunification who have access to the

labour market, students who have access to the labour

market, researchers, EU Blue Card holders) as well as

national residence permits giving access to the labour

market, and excludes a number of specific categories

of workers (such as posted workers, seasonal workers,

intra corporate transferees, self-employed persons and

EU long term residents).

As illustrated in Annex 1, the lowest fees for issuing an

EU long-term residence permit are in place in

Luxembourg (€50), Hungary (~€60) and Estonia

(€63.91). In most of the 22 Member States under

review, the fees range between €100 and €200 (DE,

FR, LV, MT, PL, SK). The highest fees are in place in

Portugal (~€300), Bulgaria (~€500) and the

Netherlands (€760 for seasonal workers, €861 for all

others).

11

In Estonia, for family members of EU Blue Card holder, residence

permit cost 63.91 euro.

5. FEES FOR RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT OF RESIDENCE PERMITS

While renewal involves the reissuing of an expired

residence permit, replacement is the substitution of a

lost or damaged residence permit document.

Fees for permit renewal/replacement also follow

different rules in each Member State. Such rules

usually apply to all kind of permits, with very few

exceptions. Some Member States require higher fees

for renewal depending on the duration of the extension

(DE, EL, FR); in others the amount to be paid is the

same as for the first issuance (EE, LU, PL, SE);

finally, some Member States impose only

administrative fees or lower fees than for the first

permit (HU, PT,SK).

Among Member States that apply a fee for the

replacement of the permit where lost or destroyed,

some apply the same costs and fees as for initial

issuance (LT, LU, PL, SE), while others apply lower

fees (FR, HU, LV, NL, PT).

In Poland, in the event of the wrongful loss or

wrongful destruction of selected residence

documents12, the fee for the replacement is increased

up to 300%.

In Slovak Republic, the fee changes according to

when the replacement is requested and to the urgency

of the procedure. In this regard, only 9 Member States

provide for a “fast-track” procedure; of these, 5 apply

a higher fee (BE, BG, EE, LT, LV) which ranges from

twice (EE, LT) to 7 times the standard fee (BENL, SI,

SE do not charge additional fees for a faster

procedure.

6. FEES FOR ISSUANCE OF NATIONAL RESIDENCE PERMITS

Fees of specific national residence permits were

reported by 13 Member States (BG, EE, HU, IE, LT,

LU, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, SE).

The fees applied vary significantly from one Member

State to the other. Lower fees reported are in

Hungary for long-stay seasonal workers visa (€40);

Luxembourg applies the standard fee of €50 for all

kinds of permits. For example, in the Netherlands,

the fees for permits for Turkish nationals exercising

rights under the EEC-Turkey Association Agreement

12 These include the Polish residence card; Polish travel document for a

foreigner; Polish identity document of a foreigner; document certifying

that the foreigner holds a permit for tolerated stay entitled “permit for

tolerated stay.”

6

and their family members amount at €53. In Poland

fees for temporary residence permits amount to ~€95

and those for permanent residence permit to ~€168.

Around €100 are the fees applying to study exchange

and temporary visitors in Sweden. In Slovak

Republic the lowest fees are for seasonal work permit

(€33). In Ireland, a fee of €300 is charged in respect

of each immigration certificate of registration issued to

third-country nationals. In addition, there are

prescribed fees for investors (€750), entrepreneurs

(€350) and atypical workers (€250). Fees for long-

term residency in Ireland amount to €500. Higher fees

generally apply to entrepreneurs with a range going

from €~140 to €1,266 (EE, LV, NL, SK, SE) with the

top highest in Portugal, where they amount to

€5,662.

7. CONDITIONS AND CRITERIA FOR EXEMPTIONS FROM FEES

Exemptions from residence permit fees are in place in

a number of Member States (DE, EE, EL, HU, LT, LV,

LU, NL, PL, PT, RO, SE, SK) and Norway.

Beneficiaries of international protection (DE,

EE, HU, FI, IE, IT, LT, LU, NL, PL, PT, SE): In a

number of (Member) States, beneficiaries of

international protection are exempt from

residence permit fees. For example in Hungary,

national legislation specifies a number of

categories of TCNs granted a residence permit on

humanitarian grounds, including recognised

stateless persons; person authorized based on the

principle of non-refoulement13; persons who have

cooperated with the authorities in a crime

investigation and have provided significant

assistance to gather evidence; asylum applicants;

unaccompanied minors and persons who was

employed under exploitative work conditions.

Victims of trafficking in human beings:

Residence permits for victims of trafficking in

human beings, and where applicable, persons

subject to facilitation of irregular immigration, are

issued ex-officio with no fee (EE, EL, FI, HU, LT,

LV, NL, RO, SE, SK, NO).

Third-country nationals who cannot be

returned and/or are granted tolerated stay

(NL, LT) or residence permit due to

humanitarian reasons (PL).

nationals (IE);

Third-country nationals who are under 18

years old of age at the time of registration

(IE, IT, SK);

On the basis of bilateral agreements (DE, FI,

LT, PL, PT). For example, in Portugal, all the

nationals from countries belonging to Community

of Portuguese-speaking countries14, except East

Timor, are exempt from fees or only pay a small

issuance fee (€ 16.10);

Excpetions to particular nationalities of

third-country nationals (PL). In Poland, all

long-stay visas (D-type) are issued for free to
