Due to the large number of public holidays between late April and mid-May, many foreigners go to the Immigration Offices to apply for their residence status. As a result, the place will be very busy and the procedures may take longer than usual.

If you go to the Immigration Offices during this period, use the public transportation whenever possible.

In addition, if there are no issues with your residence status or the validity of your visa, it is recommended that you apply for residence analysis from mid-May onwards.

Information about the congestion situation, among other notices, is published on the official social media accounts managed by the Immigration Offices (the leaflet is available here). Take advantage of this information.
