Information
What is a permanent residence permit?
A permanent residence permit allows you to stay in the Netherlands forever. This permit is officially called a "verblijfsvergunning asiel voor onbepaalde tijd" (permanent asylum residence permit).
This is what you can do if the IND is late in deciding your asylum case
The IND must decide on your asylum application in time. If the IND does not decide on time, you can officially ask the IND to make a decision within 2 weeks. This is called "notice of default".
