2) Documentation and Compliance: Guiding clients in preparing and submitting complete and valid documentation to government authorities, such as the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). We help ensure adherence to all reporting requirements and legal obligations to avoid penalties, such as late fees for overstaying a visa.

4) Addressing Complex Issues: Providing support in challenging scenarios, including:
