Generally, it is not possible to apply for an expedite procedure unless a residence permit is applied for in connection with employment.

If there are special or uncontrollable circumstances, you can request for an expedite procedure. The condition is that all documentation has been submitted with an application and is ready for processing.

A special situation can be, for example, a serious illness of you or your close relatives or a natural disaster.

A decision to refuse an expedite procedure cannot be appealed.
