Renewal itself was quick for me. Booking the medical check it depended on was the only real queue.

My first permit expires in a few months and the renewal feels almost as daunting as the original application — different documents, proof I've actually been living here, and horror stories about leaving it too late and falling out of status. When did you start your first renewal, and what caught you off guard?
