> This is practical workflow support, not legal advice.

Recommended sequence

  1. **10-12 weeks before expiry**: confirm scenario, permit details, and core document list.
  2. **6-8 weeks before expiry**: align all employment and insurance records for consistency.
  3. **3-5 weeks before expiry**: submit complete package and store confirmation details.
  4. **0-2 weeks before expiry**: answer requests fast, keep one communication thread.

KVR file-quality checks

  • Consistent salary, role title, and contract dates across uploads
  • Current registration and insurance proof without gaps
  • Legible passport pages and clear file naming convention

Follow-up baseline
