Residence permit extension papers are submitted within 2 months after one year from the date of obtaining a residence permit. This is the latest. It is better to submit the papers exactly one year later.

If a migrant cannot submit papers on time, he notifies the local migration office. We'll have to explain the reasons and provide information.
