Document background
The Permanent Resident Renewal Form is a crucial document required by Austrian immigration law for individuals seeking to extend their permanent residence status in Austria. This form must be submitted before the expiration of the current residence permit and is processed by the competent immigration authority (typically MA 35 in Vienna). The document is designed to verify continued compliance with residence requirements under the Settlement and Residence Act, including integration criteria, sufficient means of subsistence, and adherence to public order regulations. It collects comprehensive information about the applicant's personal circumstances, employment status, integration measures completed, and various mandatory declarations. The form is particularly important as it helps maintain legal residence status in Austria and, where applicable, preserves rights under EU long-term residence provisions.
