Make sure you apply for extension in good time!

Each extension of social visa has 4 stages:

• take necessary forms in Immigration office;
• apply for extension;
• pay;
• collect documents.

Important: for each submission of documents for extension, the sponsor is required to attend in person. Take this into account when asking someone to be your sponsor. If you got your sponsorship letter and other documents to apply for extension by yourself in our agency (check details here), we guarantee that the sponsor will be there for each extension procedure.

On the day of appointment, you should come to the Immigration office to pay the extension (also on a queuing basis) and get a payment receipt containing the date of passport release. On your third visit, before issuing your passport, immigration officers will have a sample of your signature, finger prints and a photograph.
