The Problem
Living abroad means navigating a web of interdependent documents with severe consequences for missed deadlines. Your work permit must be renewed before your visa. Your visa depends on your passport having at least six months of remaining validity. Your international health insurance is often a visa renewal requirement. And your home country still expects tax filings on time, sometimes with different deadlines than you are used to.
Missing a visa renewal deadline can mean deportation, travel bans, or having to leave and reapply from your home country — a process that can take months and cost thousands.
