If you are unsure whether you have filled in the application correctly, you can go to the application archive and open the application you just submitted. The information of the application can no longer be changed, when the application has already been submitted. You can always enter additional information using the message function, in case something is missing. The application can also be filled in completely  again, if you notice major deficiencies in the application you have sent.

Please note that you can submit a follow-up application even if the first application has not yet been processed. Submit a follow-up application no earlier than four calendar weeks or one month after the last day of the first application. If you are unsure of what your application rhythm will be in the future, you can send us a message in Openetti.
