Extending your student pass for another year — documents, attendance requirements, timelines and the mistakes that trigger rejections.
When to start
Renewal filing begins 6–8 weeks before your pass expires. ACE's visa team diarises every student's expiry and contacts you first — you never chase us.
The two big requirements
Attendance of 80%+ (tracked in your student portal weekly) and academic progression to the next level. EMGS-approved absences need letters — talk to us before, not after, long breaks.
Documents for renewal
Passport, current pass page, new offer/continuation letter, updated photo, insurance renewal and medical screening if required for your nationality.
If your pass lapses
Overstaying hands you fines, special pass complications and potential bans. If expiry is near, contact our visa team the same day — special-pass applications buy legal time to fix it.
