Common pitfalls
- ⚠Wrong 'destination country' on KT.02 voids the entire filing — you start over

- ⚠Anything filed after 14:30 rolls to the next working day, even in express mode
NYC insider tips
- 💡NYC uses the agent lane — you save ~2 hours versus the public queue
- 💡For bulk filings (10+ docs), split them by language and document type before submitting
- 💡'Same-day' express must be filed before 10:00; pickup opens 15:30 the same day
FAQ
Can I file on the weekend?
No. MFA opens Mon–Fri 08:30–14:30 only; closed on public holidays.
What's the difference between filing myself vs NYC?
Filing yourself costs half a day; NYC uses the agent lane and has a standing team at the counters.
What if the counter rejects my file?
The officer notes the reason. NYC fixes and refiles the next working day at no extra cost for technical errors.
