Will UDI prioritise already submitted applications from people who are in Palestine or Israel?
Yes, UDI has been asked to prioritise already submitted applications for residence permits from people who are in Palestine or Israel.
UDI will also prioritise new applications from people who are in Palestine or Israel, but there may be practical obstacles which may mean that it takes some time before the case processing is completed. One reason may be, for example, that the application does not contain all the necessary documentation.
Applications may be prioritised for other reasons. Applicants who want priority must request this, and an individual assessment will be made. If you have further questions regarding the prioritisation of your application, you can use our guide to check if your case can be moved to the front of the queue.
