Hello Zimba. I am about to apply for set m 10 years long residence which the 10 th year is November 21 st. My visa run out october 20th. Can I apply directly for indefinite in October 5th or apply for FLR extension first then wait till November 21st to apply for indefinite. I'm considering that I wouldn't have met 10 years by October 5th but I need to apply so my visa doesn't expire.

Apply before visa expiry and delay your biometrics until you are within 28 days of completing your 10 years
