Temporary Residence Cards (TRC)

A temporary residence card replaces repeated visa extensions and allows multiple entries for its full term. The term granted depends on the basis — investment level, work permit duration or family relationship.

Wise Counsel obtains and renews temporary residence cards for foreign workers, investors and their dependants.

What we help with

• Advising on eligibility and the term available on each basis
• TRC applications based on a work permit or work permit exemption
• TRC applications for investors, based on the level of capital contributed
• TRC applications for spouses, children and parents of eligible holders
• Preparing the sponsoring entity's documents and guarantee letter
• Renewal applications and advising on the timing
• Amending a TRC after a change of passport, employer or address
• Advising on the consequences of ending employment before the card expires

A TRC is tied to the basis on which it was granted. If that basis ends — you leave the job or the investment changes — the card is affected, and we advise before that happens.
