Due to the increasing number of events, the growing workload of the authorities, and the reduced capacity of the approving committee, the submission deadlines have been adjusted.
 

What does this mean for you?

• Plan ahead: We recommend adjusting your scheduling and taking the current deadlines into account. Please ensure your application is submitted on time to avoid delays.
• Paperwork: Make sure all required documents and information are complete and correctly attached to your application. This will help us process your request quickly and efficiently.
