IF I WANT TO EXTEND MY RESIDENCE PERMIT, WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO APPLY?

• The earliest date you can apply for an extension varies depending on the type of residence permit. However, your existing residence permit must still be valid when you make a new application. Otherwise you will not be allowed to stay in Sweden.

• If you apply too early, you may need to submit new/additional documents in relation to the requested permit period.

• Submitting your application completely will increase the likelihood of receiving a faster decision.
