An extension looks like a formality, but it is in fact a fresh examination of whether you still meet the requirements.
If your employment situation has changed, or your income no longer meets the threshold,
the application can be refused.
When we
can help CASES
- Your period of stay is coming to an end and you need an extension
- A change of job, resignation or change of workplace affects your eligibility
- Business results or income have fallen and you are concerned about the extension (D-8, D-9 and similar)
- An extension was refused, or granted only for a short period
- You have already overstayed and the situation needs to be regularised
