If you have been diagnosed with a degree of disability of at least 50, you can apply for the issuance of a severely disabled person's pass.

This is issued for up to five years or indefinitely, depending on the chance of improving your state of health.

If you are a severely disabled person whose residence permit is temporary, the card can only be issued as long as the residence permit is valid.

The severely disabled person's pass allows you to prove that you are severely disabled and points out special health restrictions. You can use it to claim special rights and corresponding compensation for disadvantages.

You can only apply for a severely disabled person's pass if you have previously been diagnosed with a degree of disability of at least 50.
