You left out that this is new since April 2015.
//EDIT: this is how other european countries do it. You get this card which lives independent of your passport: http://www.aupair-worldwide.de/_gfx/news/246_1.jpg http://www.aupair-worldwide.de/_gfx/news/246_1.jpg

- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoSeems like the issue there is that these are replacing the old system and now people start to demand them.
- dudul 11y agoBased on the comment above it seems that this is a good thing. The system with a visa attached to a passport was stupid, and having a separate document that lives independently from the passport makes much more sense. It looks like they changed the rules to make it easier, now unfortunately previous immigrants have to be made aware of this and comply. In the end, it is making everyone life easier I think.
