As a rule, the temporary restaurant licence is limited to a maximum period of validity of 3 months. It can be extended at a later date at the request of the holder - repeatedly if necessary - provided there is good cause for doing so. Good cause exists in particular if the issue of the final licence applied for is delayed for reasons for which the applicant is not responsible.
