| | Residence permit expiring at the same time as my lease
Hi,
I have received a letter from my Stadt saying my residence permit is about to expire, and that I need to re-register in a few days.
However, my apartment lease is also expiring at the same date in September, and there is large possibility I will not be living in this Stadt anymore. (If I find another accommodation somewhere else, say.)
What should I do?

Tom | | | | | Yes, of course, but maybe I haven't yet found an apartment. Residence permit needs to be renewed two weeks in advance.

You won't get a new flat without a valid permit anyway.

An update here: applied for a new residence permit, but couldn't find somewhere to live in the meantime.
I will get back to my home country and return when I find something. There is no hurry.
However, the Migrationsamt is still sending my residence permit to my old address, in a registered letter.
How to get it if it's after I move out and leave the country? Can someone else who I trust pick it up?

I highly recommend you have your post forwarded to a trusted friend in Swtizerland, or even abroad.
Or leave your forwarding address with the landlord and new tenant, and a few pre-paid envelopes, so they can post them to you (assuming the post is secure).
It's possible to sign a form for a trusted person to pick up registered post...
