Basic information
If your permit for the commercial exhibition of persons is at risk of expiring because the business has not been started within one year of the permit being issued or has not been operated for a period of one year, you can apply for an extension of the deadline for the expiry of the permit.
The decision to extend the deadline is at the discretion of the authority. An extension can only be granted if there is good cause. Good cause can be assumed if circumstances beyond your control and outside your area of responsibility make it impossible for you as the permit holder to meet the deadline. The authority will also take into account whether the public interest is opposed to an extension of the deadline and whether a new permit procedure appears necessary. An extension may therefore be considered in the event of illness, destruction of the facility or business premises through no fault of your own, but not in the event of temporary insolvency or a temporary ban on trading.
Requirements
- Existence of an important reason
- Application before the end of the one-year period
-
Procedure
The application must be submitted to the competent authority in writing or via the online procedure provided.
You must provide the required information and submit any documents that may be relevant to the assessment of your application.
The permit may be issued for a limited period or subject to conditions if this is necessary to protect the general public, guests, residents of the business premises or neighboring properties. Conditions may also be added, amended or supplemented at a later date.
Once you have submitted the application and all documents are complete, the competent authority will check whether you meet all the requirements.
If you meet all the requirements, you will receive the permit.
You may only start your activity once you have received the permit.
You may only continue the activity if the competent authority has extended the deadline.
