Extending the deadline for the expiry of a permit for the commercial exhibition of persons

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.
