Revised State Migration Service guidance changes the order of TRP filing — what Pakistani applicants need to know now.

Two procedural updates this quarter quietly reorder how a long-stay file is assembled. The headlines are minor; the operational implications, less so.

The updates shift the sequencing of address registration relative to biometric capture for first-time TRP applicants entering on type D visas. Applicants currently between visa issuance and physical arrival are unaffected; applicants whose entry is scheduled after 1 March should plan address registration earlier in the in-country sequence.
