What does this mean for you?
- Plan ahead: We recommend adjusting your planning and taking the current deadlines into account. Please ensure your application is submitted on time to avoid delays.
- Documentation: Make sure all required documents and information are complete and correctly attached to your application. This will help us process your request quickly and efficiently.
