Direct answer: Prove enrolment and progress under the course. Intention to stay alone is not enough.
Who this applies to: Students whose permit and course continue.
Practical steps: 1) obtain enrolment certificate; 2) gather exam/attendance proof; 3) prove means/accommodation; 4) file before expiry; 5) report course/institution change.
Documents to keep: Passport, permit, receipt, enrolment, results, insurance and requested documents.
Verifiable timing and costs: Deadlines, fees and duration depend on course; check the official notice.
Exceptions and special cases: Study-to-work is a separate conversion.
If the procedure stalls: If a certificate is missing, request proof from the institution and a supplement deadline.
Practical example: A student awaiting exam results attaches enrolment and official schedule.
