Fast path

Do this in order

Start here if you only need the order. Detailed notes are lower on this page.

  1. Step 1

    Check region and entry purpose

    A patent route is usually tied to region and entry purpose. Do not move it between regions without an official check.

    Tip: If your migration card shows another purpose, ask a qualified source before working.

  2. Step 2

    Set payments and notifications

    Record advance payment dates, patent validity, contract dates, and employer notification duties.

    Tip: Keep payment receipts with document copies.

  3. Step 3

    Check medical procedures and address

    Confirm medical, fingerprinting, photo procedures, and migration registration at your real address.

    Tip: Do not buy an address or patent through an unofficial chat.

  4. Step 4

    Update calendar when work changes

    A new employer, region, address, or status can trigger new notifications and deadlines.

    Tip: Ask the employer to confirm mandatory notifications in writing.
