Staying in the waiting area beyond four days from the initial placement decision may be authorised, by the liberties and detention judge ruling on the effective exercise of the rights recognised to the foreign national, for a period of not more than eight days.
The request to remain in the waiting area sets out the reasons why the foreign national could not be repatriated or, if they have applied for asylum, admitted, and the time required to ensure their departure from the waiting area.

On pain of inadmissibility, pronounced ex officio, no irregularity prior to the hearing relating to the first extension of the holding period in the waiting area may be raised at the hearing relating to the second extension.
In the event of a breach of the formalities prescribed by law on pain of nullity or failure to observe essential formalities, the liberty and custody judge hearing an application on this ground or who notes such an irregularity of his own motion may only order the release of the person being held in the waiting area where this irregularity has had the effect of infringing the rights of the…
