Why does it take longer to process my application than I was informed?

The processing time indicated on the State Treasury website is the average processing time for applications. Applications are processed individually and therefore the progression of processes may vary. For this reason, the actual processing time of an application may be longer, for example because it is necessary to use discretion in relation to costs when processing the application. In these cases, the processing time of the applications is estimated to be one month. Further clarification may also have to be requested in the processing of the application, which will prolong the processing time.
