Have you received a Resident Card?

---

Foreign permanent residents who currently hold an Alien Registration Card must have it replaced with a Resident Card before 8^th July 2015. Immigration offices will have a high number of applicants in the days leading up to the deadline so it is expected that there will be longer waiting times than usual.

Please go to the nearest Immigration office to have a new Resident Card made as soon as possible.
