Submit your renewal or extension application to the appropriate immigration authority. This might be done online, by mail, or in person. Double-check the application form for accuracy to avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visa extensions usually come with application fees. Ensure you pay the correct amount, as outlined by the immigration authority, and keep your payment receipt as proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
