  • Searched 90f75dfdaa01f493.txt: only the application deadline (at most 30 days before the ITK expires, used in r5) is given; no minimum residence period.

Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?

Conversion is available to ITK holders for: experts; workers; clergy; foreign direct investment; scientific research; education; family reunification; repatriation; second home; medical treatment; or foreigners admitted for reasons of public welfare and/or humanitarian benefit. An ITK obtained from a visa on arrival or a visit-visa exemption cannot be converted to any other stay permit.

What absence/continuity rules affect accumulation of the qualifying residence period?

This is a direct application to change a valid Visit Stay Permit (ITK) into a Temporary Stay Permit (ITAS), rather than a residence-period accumulation route. The application must be filed no later than 30 days before the ITK expires; ITKs originating from visa on arrival or visit-visa exemption cannot be converted. Immigration Law article 51 says an ITK ends if the holder returns to the country of origin, if it expires, or if it changes into an ITAS. A timely filed and paid conversion application is not treated as overstay solely because processing finishes after ITK expiry.

  • The cited conversion procedure specifies no qualifying period or general absence/continuity calculation. Article 51 names return to country of origin as an ITK-ending event; it does not establish that every trip abroad has that effect.

What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

The application is filed by the foreign national, sponsor or responsible party by application to the head of the Immigration Office, at most 30 days before the ITK expires. If filed and paid before the ITK expires, the applicant is not counted as overstaying while the decision is pending. General documents: valid national passport with the visa, entry stamp and ITK; sponsor guarantee and sponsor ID/family card where applicable. The office forwards the application within 3 working days of payment and the Director General decides within 5 working days; the virtual ITAS is sent electronically.
