Be careful in these cases
- Applying for an extension after your period of stay has already passed
- Starting new work after only applying, before approval
- When your passport has little validity left
- Not reporting changes to your address, marital status, or employment
If you keep staying or working before your period of stay is extended or a workplace-change procedure is completed, you may face illegal-stay or illegal-employment problems. Always confirm the final approval.
