Če pri sodišču ni predvidena pravica do pritožbe ali če je pritožba mogoča le na pravno veljavnost odločbe, ali če pritožba ne zadrži izvršitve odločbe, upravni organ, razen v nujnih primerih, ne sme sprejeti odločbe, s katero se zavrne podaljšanje dovoljenja za prebivanje ali s katero se ukaže izgon imetnika dovoljenja za prebivanje z ozemlja države, dokler ne da mnenja pristojni organ države gostiteljice, pred katerim ima prizadeta oseba pravico do obrambe in pomoči ali do pravnega zastopanja, kot je predvideno v domači zakonodaji.
Where there is no right of appeal to a court of law, or where such appeal may be only in respect of the legal validity of the decision, or where the appeal cannot have suspensory effect, a decision refusing renewal of a residence permit or ordering the expulsion of the holder of a residence permit from the territory shall not be taken by the administrative authority, save in cases of urgency, until an opinion has been obtained from a competent authority of the host country before which the person concerned enjoys such rights of defence and of assistance or representation as the domestic law of that country provides for.
