Directorate of Immigration: Residence permit - General conditions

I submitted documents with a visa application, do I have to re-submit the same documents with a residence permit application?

Documents for visa applications are submitted to embassies, where they are processed, but not to the Directorate of Immigration. Furthermore, the supporting documents for applications for residence permits are generally not the same as those for visa applications.

If you are applying for a residence permit and believe that any of the supporting documents you are required to submit already lie with the Directorate of Immigration, you can contact us and ask us to check
