Documents For Extenion Based On Wp

[bapak]

Friend just asked me but I am not sure of answer. He has O Visa and just got Work Permit so he is about to go off to Immigration for extension of stay. What documents are required besides Passport, WPP, TM7?

As have not done can only say a whole lot more paperwork will be required if an extension of stay is even possible. Company paperwork to include tax records (which new companies do not have) as a starter. His salary will have to meet requirements for his nationality as well.

If this is for teaching the requirements are less restrictive but a bunch of paperwork will still be required.

Advise if private company or teaching and expect people can be more specific.

I have just spoken to a reliable person at our local Immigration and been advised that apart from documents mentioned above, will need:

Copy of School Licence

Employment Contract

Letter from school assigning applicant as a teacher

Copy of Manager's appointment

Cover letter from school to Immigration

If the extension of stay is based on the monthly income of 40K, hence using the WP....surely that should suffice?..why would you need company tax records etc etc when that has already been produced to obtain the WP in the first place..please keep us updated as to what is needed though
