Document background
The Renew Green Card Form is a mandatory document required by Dutch immigration authorities for foreign nationals seeking to extend their legal residence in the Netherlands. This form must be submitted to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) before the expiration of the current residence permit, typically between 2-4 months prior to the expiry date. The document collects essential information to verify continued eligibility under Dutch immigration law, including personal details, employment status, integration requirements compliance, and various legal declarations. It is designed to ensure compliance with the Dutch Aliens Act 2000 and related immigration regulations, serving as the primary tool for residence permit renewal procedures in the Netherlands. The form's requirements may vary depending on the type of residence permit and the applicant's specific circumstances, such as employment-based permits, study permits, or family reunification cases.
