About this service
A permit is issued for a particular employee, a particular position and a particular employer. When the details change — a new position, a new company name, a new passport — they are entered into the existing permit on the employer's application. A change of employer is not part of this procedure: that is a new permit.

Frequently asked questions
The foreigner got a new passport. Is this the right procedure?+
Yes, new passport details are entered into the permit. We also recommend updating the passport translation for other documents.
What if the employer itself changes?+
A change of employer is not an amendment but a new permit from the new employer. We will explain how to make the transition without a gap.
How long does it take?+
Up to 7 working days from filing. It runs longer when the change first has to be confirmed by a document you do not have yet.
The company has changed its name. Is this the right procedure?+
Yes, the employer's registration details are entered into the permit. We take the register data ourselves — all we need from you is the company code.
The foreigner is moving to another position. Is an amendment enough?+
It depends on what changes in the terms. We look at the order and the conditions and tell you whether an application is enough or a new permit is needed — before filing, not after a refusal.
