The regularisation permit lasts one year; at the end you must move to an ordinary permit or, if you cannot, request a one-year extension.
Routes to consider
The extension requires proof of an active job search or a favourable integration report. Prepare it before the expiry date so that your residence is not interrupted. Change of residence permit
A point to check carefully
Check which 2026 provision applied and the filing date. An extraordinary scheme should not be treated as permanently open.

Frequently asked questions
When should I start?
Before your current permit or stay expires: there is no fixed filing window for a change of status. Do not start the new activity until it is granted.
