for the specific third country national a new guarantee has been submitted (e.g. by a new employer legally employing the person; for whom the residence permit with the new employer been already issued).
Return of the remaining amount of a guarantee in case of deportation
In case a guarantee has been used for the deportation of a third country national, any remaining amount is returned to the person concerned directly, through a bank transfer.
Cases in which the guarantee is not returned
The bank guarantee is not returned in the following cases:

if the third country national departs the place of residence and employment and is a wanted person.
Procedure for return of guarantee
Provided that at least one of the above reasons for which the guarantee is returned applies, the applicant must submit a written request to the Department.
For convenience purposes, the Department has prepared a special form, which can be completed for this purpose and which you can find at the end of this page.
It is noted at the time of submission the form must be completed and signed. Particular attention should be given to the correctly filling-in the file number or the ARC of the third country national and the number of the guarantee.
The request may be sent by post, fax, e-mail (given that it is duly completed and signed and then scanned) or may be placed in a special box that is located in the service areas of the Civil Registry and Migration Department (waiting time is not required for placing the request in the box).
