All duty stamps will expire on December 31, 2024, and therefore will no longer be accepted for the payment of administrative fees.
Applications with duty stamps can only be submitted in person or remotely until December 31, 2024.
For applications submitted by remote means, duty stamps will only be accepted for payment of the administrative fee if the application is submitted (together with the stamps) by post until December 31, 2024.
Applications submitted with stamps after this date will be accepted, but you will be required to pay an administration fee as the stamps will no longer be valid.
Payment of the administrative fee will be possible in several alternative ways.
One option will be to make payments directly at the Ministry of the Interior offices using payment terminals. The Ministry of the Interior offices will not accept cash for payment of the administrative fees.
It will also be possible to make a payment by bank transfer. For applications submitted remotely, it will be possible to use the functionality on the Information Portal for Foreigners to generate payment details.
More information about these new payment methods will be published on this portal and on the Facebook page of the Information Portal for Foreigners.
