Frequently asked questions
When should I deal with the renewal?
Well in advance, taking into account the permit's validity and AIMA's current instructions. The timing and channel may vary.
Can I renew if my permit has already expired?
Expiry alone does not determine the procedure: the type of permit, its validity and the status of the case must be reviewed. Do not assume that an earlier extension still applies.
Do I always need to submit the same documents?
No. They vary with the type of permit and your situation.
How long does it take?
It depends on the procedure and the authorities involved. No date can be guaranteed.
