Conversion is the quiet advantage that people who ask early get and people who ask late do not. If you have enough days remaining on your current permission to stay, you can change category at immigration rather than flying to a consulate abroad.
The deadline is fixed and it does not bend. Every day you spend deciding is a day off the clock.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I still have time?
Send us a photo of the stamp in your passport. That is all we need to tell you whether conversion is still available to you.
What if I have missed the window?
Then we look at extending your current stay to buy days, or at applying at a consulate abroad. Neither is a disaster, but both cost more than converting on time would have.
