The EU Single Permit Rule for Work and Residence Visas

By  Editor
Updated May 10 2023

The EU Single Permit Rule was implemented officially in 2011. It is a directive that complements the EU Blue Card. It combines and regulates both the Work and Residence Visas into a Single Permit. This enables non-EU nationals to stay and work in the nation that has issued it.

Applicants can now apply for the EU Single Permit only at one authorized entity. This is in the place of applying for separate entities for Work and Residence Visas. The response must not take more than 90 days to arrive after you apply.

After you receive the EU Single Permit, it can take:

  • 24 months for you to be in a position to change the job
  • 18 months to change the EU member nation

The same rules are applicable within all EU member nations, more or less. EU Single Permit offers rights to non-EU workers who reside legally in the host state. But these are yet to obtain the status of a Long-term Resident. The rights include:

  • Equal conditions for work
  • Access to services and goods like employment advice, loans, grants, and housing
  • Tax benefits
  • Social Security
  • Recognition of Diplomas
  • Vocational Training
  • Education

The applicant or their employer must apply for the EU Single Permit with the concerned authorities. It must state the conditions and period of work, as quoted by the EU Blue Card. There are certain restrictions for benefits. This includes family benefits if the applicant is working for less than six months.

The starting point in the application procedure for the EU Single Permit will be the submission. This is of the complete application file to the competent regional employment authority. It includes supporting documents pertaining to both residence and employment.

The file will become further comprehensive with the addition of more documents to it. This includes a good conduct certificate that has to be offered to the authorities.
