Depending on your plans, You might want to extend your existing stamp 30 days before bouncing. And once the visa is activated, it too can still be extended once +30 days
yes, in that case we did. My partner first registered for a user name and then submitted my report once on the system. That was almost 2 years ago, at the time there was a glitch uploading files over 5mgb. It was solved sending the files as a pdf. Multiple images, one file
I haven't said 'not to get insurance', have I. Stop with your BS. I've recommended a more appropriate and cost effective route to his visa. What insurance cover he wants is his choice.
