✦YOUR PURPOSE. A THOUGHTFUL PLAN.
Make the next step
a considered one.
Start with the permission you hold now, its expiry date and the conditions attached to it. An extension, a renewal and a change of route can involve different rules, so it is important to describe your intended next step accurately.
Explain what is changing
A new course, employer, family circumstance or travel plan may affect the appropriate question. Share the full situation and any prior applications or decisions.
Avoid assumptions about waiting
Submitting an application does not have the same effect in every country or category. Confirm what happens to your status and permitted activities while a decision is pending.

✦A PURPOSE, THEN A PLACE
Compare destinations Route availability and eligibility vary by country. Open a country guide for the relevant official information.
Can every visa be extended?
No. Extension and switching options depend on the country, category, conditions and circumstances.
Can I keep working while a new application is pending?
Do not assume so. The effect of a pending application varies. Check the official rules for your exact situation before continuing an activity.
What if my permission has already expired?
Explain the situation promptly and seek appropriately qualified advice. Do not assume that a routine renewal will resolve an expired status.
