A foreign national may change employer or employment conditions while a residence permit renewal is still pending. In that situation, it is important to keep documents that clearly reconstruct both the previous and the new employment relationship.
Employment contracts, mandatory employment communications, payslips and other relevant records should be kept together with the renewal receipt and copies of the documents already submitted to the authorities.
A change of employment does not produce the same legal consequence in every residence procedure. Its relevance depends on the type of permit, the stage of the pending application and the individual circumstances. Where appropriate, it may also be necessary to assess whether updated employment information should be added to the administrative file.
If the authority requests additional documents or the status of the procedure becomes unclear, reconstructing the complete file is an important first step before deciding whether to provide an integration, request information, seek access to administrative documents or consider another available remedy.
