Brexit Residence Permit Renewal

OH was checking his Aufenthalts card yesterday, which was issued under the withdrawal agreement with GB to people resident before the final withdrawal date.
His expires at the end of this April. We thought they were issued for 10 years or would be sutomatically extended, but it seems that can vary from state to state. So better check if you have this kind of permit. I don't think renewal should be a problem.

I remember back in the day people were mentioning that their cards came with expiry dates coinciding with their GB passports.

So that might be worth a look, especially given the current problems people are having with UK travel.

I have been wondering/worrying about this issue too. My initial understanding was I should have got a permanent AU. Other people seemed to. But mine runs out next year, when my UK passport does. Am in BW.

Yup, my other half as well. Not next year, but not a full 10 years as I remember.
