When should I apply to extend my stay?

Apply before your current status expires. Waiting until the last minute risks mistakes and missed timelines.

What documents are important for an extension?

A clear reason to stay, proof you can support yourself, evidence of ties/plan, and a timeline that makes sense.

What if my status already expired?

You may need restoration (if eligible). Timing is critical—act quickly.
