The spread of the COVID-19 epidemic justifies limiting travel within the framework provided by the decree of March 20, 2019. This imperative justifies exempting foreigners whose period of validity of the residence permit has expired from 16 last March to complete the steps to request renewal, so that they do not have to travel for this reason.
This exceptional extension of the period of validity of residence permits will be validated at the legislative level by the emergency bill, presented today in the Council of Ministers, which authorizes the government to legislate by ordinance to extend the period of validity of residence permits. of stay held by foreign nationals on our territory, up to 180 days.
In doing so, the situation with regard to the stay or asylum of the foreigners concerned will be secure, without any breach of rights.
The categories of securities concerned by this measure are:
- long-stay visas,
- residence permits,
- provisional residence permits,
- residence permit application receipts,
- the asylum application certificates.
