Frequently asked questions · Permit renewal

The receipt is expiring or not recognised: how do I prove lawful stay?

Direct answer: Show original receipt, ID and old permit; request written reasons. Receipt does not replace every document.

Who this applies to: Anyone awaiting renewal who must prove filing.

Practical steps: 1) keep original and digital copy; 2) request updated attestation; 3) show old permit/passport; 4) ask for official verification; 5) record refusal details.

Documents to keep: Receipt, passport, old permit, case number and communications.

Verifiable timing and costs: Follow printed date but request confirmation; not a single national process deadline.

Exceptions and special cases: First issue, renewal and conversion differ; border travel has its own rules.

If the procedure stalls: Request written attestation and attach it to the other procedure.

Practical example: A bank refuses the receipt: the applicant shows old permit and case number for internal verification.
