Applying for an extension of stay – safety and compliance

For those trying to stay in the country legally, a properly completed application for an extension of stay is a guarantee of peace of mind and determination. Typical mistakes, such as an incorrect expiry date of the previous visa, missing forms or insufficient motivation, often lead to refusals due to formal shortcomings. Our service for preparing applications for an extension of stay guarantees the structure, legality and clarity of the wording required by the Home Office or similar authorities.

Change of status: competent preparation and legal argumentation

Are you moving from a student to a work visa, from a temporary permit to permanent resident status or do you want to obtain humanitarian status? An application for a change of immigration status made without legal support is a risk. We prepare documents, comparing the facts of your situation with the current requirements, including arguments, legal norms and explanations so that your application has a solid basis for a positive decision.
