Renewals, permanent residency, and bringing family

None of these are decided here. Renewing a status of residence or a residence card, whether time in a role counts toward permanent residency, and whether a family member can accompany somebody, are all matters for the Immigration Services Agency.

The same applies to what happens to a status when a contract ends. It depends on the individual case, and the Agency is the place to ask.
