Cannot you do it by registered mail?

Not to mention, that their imagination is endless and they can easily point which documents you should have. If you rent a condo then you should have contract, owner's ID copy, government proof that he/she is the owner of the condo, your TM.30 copy and printed map or the area with street name visible (some officers request hand-drawn map, but I always have printed from Google Maps)

Well, I did it for 5th time. 1st of course was crazy, but 2nd till 4th I expected to be waaay easier than it was. So, two weeks ago I was really surprised. However, after 5 years I should be able to do it online 🤣🤣

@Masoud ******

they don't want to sit until 9pm everyday anymore 🤣

Yes, no comparing with originals also surprised me recently. And the fact, that they have copying machines and do copies by themselves if 1-2 pages only are needed (happened in TM.30 section and L section).

Yes, but it's very important to properly count when it should be deposited before application. After application it depends which date officer will give you, one time I was waiting 1,5 months.

@Tod ********

Great, thanks!

3 months are for retirement. For marriage two months before application and wait until getting extension stamp. (which makes it de facto 3 months, but for retirement - 4)
