If you have an asylum or family reunification status or application, it's worth checking how these new rules might affect your situation.


  • ✓ Check your decision letter: If you already have asylum or family reunification status, review your IND decision letter for Article 29(1)(a)/(b).
  • ✓ Undecided applications: If you applied for permanent asylum residence and haven't received a decision by 12 June, IND will assess it as a renewal and may refund fees.
  • ✓ Submit new paperwork: Before submitting new family reunification applications, read the latest information on the IND's official page.


⚠️ These rule changes may impact application processes and required documents. It's advisable to check the detailed explanation on the IND's official website before 2026-06-12 to ensure your application meets the latest requirements.
