What is the Netherlands residence permit renewal process?
Renewal depends on the permit type. For temporary permits (Type I), apply online via IND portal with DigiD or by post (e.g., form 7533 for family) 3 months before expiry. Permanent (Type II) or EU long-term (Type V) permits require document renewal every 5 years using form 6013. You must meet original permit conditions, have a valid passport, and maintain main residency in the Netherlands.
