Unpaid health insurance can shorten your extension

If you have unpaid premiums, your extension may in principle be limited to 6 months or less.

What happened?

Foreigners who haven't paid health insurance premiums above a certain amount can be disadvantaged when extending their stay.

How does it affect me?

If you apply without knowing you owe premiums, you may get a shorter period than you expected.

What should I do?

1. Check for unpaid premiums at 1577-1000 (press 7 for foreign languages)
2. If you owe, pay and keep the receipt
3. Submit the payment confirmation with your extension application
