How long does it take to get an authorisation?

The maximum time limit for deciding (granting or refusing) an application for authorisation is 6 months from the date of entry by registration of the application. After this period without a decision by EASA on the matter, the authorisation may be considered granted.

The deadline for replying to each request or correction of application is 10 working days from the date of entry by registration, which can be answered within this period with the decision itself (grant or refusal), or a request to rectify the application if the analysis of the documentation determines that further information is necessary.

In the latter case, a period of 10 working days is granted to provide new documentation.

After the expiry of that period, the person concerned may be deemed to have left the application by decision.
