Start by identifying your purpose of stay and current immigration position. Residence, citizenship and tax residence are different questions.
What to prepare
- Your reason for staying and intended duration.
- A record of entry and any existing permission or expiry dates.
- A general description of work, study, family or business circumstances.
Points to check
- An individual assessment is needed before selecting a route.
- Check current rules with the Migration and Citizenship Service. Avoid relying on an undated checklist.
- Do not send a passport scan or immigration file through the initial email.
