Hi everyone,


2 questions

1/ how are the chances to see the D7 visa converted into residence permit?

2/ how long it takes to get the 2 years residence permit after the appointment with the S.E.F?


Thanks for your returns.

1. If you get the first 4 months visa, is pretty sure you get the residence visa.

After the first SEF appointment should I get 1 or 2 years residence, sometimes I read that SEF give 1 year the first time and sometimes I read that it's 2 years.. a bit confused here .. hope someone can explain and confirm this point

In 2020, the temporary residence permit became valid for 2 years for the first application and 3 years for renewal. Before 2020, it was valid for one year, and was renewable for successive periods of two years.
