Are you awaiting a first asylum application? Or did you apply for extension of your temporary asylum residence permit? You cannot get a residence endorsement sticker. You have to apply for a Foreign Nationals Identity Document (type W).
When can you apply for a residence endorsement sticker
You can only make an appointment online for a residence endorsement sticker in the following situations:
- Your current residence document has expired. You have submitted one of the applications listed below. You have received a letter from the IND confirming receipt of your application. You have not yet received a decision or a new residence document:
- Application for a first regular residence permit without a provisional residence permit (MVV)
