Residence permit for third-country nationals - Apply for a Mobiler-ICT card

With the Mobile ICT Card, it is possible to transfer workers who are already holders of an ICT Card from another EU member state to Germany, even on a long-term basis, within their company or group of companies.

Third-country nationals are people who do not have the nationality of a member state of the European Union.

Attention: Your application for a Mobiler-ICT card will be rejected if you submit it at the same time as a notification of short-term mobility pursuant to Section 19a of the Residence Act.

Deadlines

The application for a Mobiler-ICT card can be made

  • be submitted at least 20 days before entering Germany. In this case, residence and employment in Germany are considered permitted for up to 90 days within 180 days until a decision is made by the foreigners authority.

In addition, the application may not be submitted at the same time as a short-term mobility notification.
