Frequently Asked Questions

When should I apply for stay permit extension?

It is recommended to apply at least 2 months before the stay period expires. Applying after expiration may result in disadvantages.

Is stay qualification change possible?

Yes, stay qualification change is possible if certain requirements are met. For example, it is possible to change from student visa to work visa.

What should I do if I have overstayed?

You must immediately report to the immigration office and apply for extension. The longer the overstay period, the greater the disadvantage, so quick response is important.
