How It Works
Step 01
Determine Your Category and MEU Form
Identify whether you are employed, self-employed, a student, or self-sufficient, and select the corresponding MEU form (MEU1, MEU2, or MEU3).
Step 02
Gather Required Documents
Collect your passport or ID, proof of address, proof of income, Health Insurance (Plan A), and any category-specific documents such as employment contracts or enrolment certificates.
Step 03
Submit at the Local Immigration Unit
Visit the Immigration Unit in your district of residence, submit your completed MEU form and supporting documents, and pay the €20 administrative fee.
Step 04
Receive Your Yellow Slip
Applications are submitted in person to the competent local Immigration Unit. For a complete MEU1 application, the Migration Department states that examination and a decision take place no later than one month after submission. This is the official maximum for a complete MEU1 file, not a guarantee that every route or incomplete file is decided immediately.
