Work permit extension: don't miss the window.
Timing is decisive in an extension application; missing the deadline sends the file back to the first-application regime.
In an extension, what matters most is the right timing and an up-to-date file
When planning the continuation of a current work permit, it is not only the expiry date that must be checked again, but also the employer, position, salary, the foreign national's ID/passport details and the latest evaluation criteria.
What do we check before an extension?
- Whether the current permit and employment relationship are continuing
- Whether the employer or position details have changed
- Whether current salary and registration details match the file
- That the application is planned on time and as the right type
Don't leave it to the last minute
