Our explanation
Incomplete application
The most common correction request for residence permit trends is a missing certificate, simple copy when certified is required, or no sworn translation.
Wrong or unpaid fee
Incorrect 790 code, fee in another person's name or PDF without payment stamp. The office will not process until the fee is fixed.
Expired certificates
Criminal records and medical certificates have limited validity (often three months). Time issuance against your appointment date.
Confusing procedures
Filing for residence permit trends when another visa or authorisation applies makes the application inadmissible. Always check the official procedure page.
Inconsistent data
Different names on passport, fee and form; addresses not matching registration; contract dates incompatible with the requested visa.

The correction period is usually ten working days. No response equals withdrawal or refusal depending on the case.
