I want to stay longer or change my purpose of stay
The key points are your current status of stay, its expiry date, and whether your purpose of stay or activities have changed. If your activities have changed, you may need to look at a change of status of stay rather than an extension.
Three things to organize before a consultation
It's fine if some things aren't decided yet. Just write as much as you know.
Current status of stay
Write your status of stay exactly as it appears on your residence card or visa.
Expiry date of stay
Check the date until which you can stay.
Changed purpose of stay or activities
If anything has changed with your job, school, business, or similar, describe how it changed.
Visa questions? Get a consultation in the app
You can start an AI consultation based on your current situation. You can keep reading the website's guides even without the app.
Further reading and consultation inquiries
Extending your period of stay and changing your status of stay are separate procedures. Please check your expiry date and the official application procedure separately. An email inquiry is not an extension application.
Write your inquiry on the inquiry screen, then send it yourself from your device's mail app.
