Need to extend my visa, need advice and help

So I arrived on a 30 day business visa, primary purpose was to get the temporary permit and begin my business incorporation.

So I have rented an apartment, paid for a year insurance, got my medical checks done, almost everything I need to apply except the Police clearance report from my home country. I got to know that it’s missing an attestation and certification from 4 different organizations in my country (Notary, Judiciary, MFA and Cyprus Consulate) before it can be accepted by the Migration Department. I have paid extra to expedite the process but it’s still taking long and I have less than 10 days on my visa.

Also the landlord is yet to give me the tenant contract although I remind him everyday, so I don’t even have a bank account yet.

So today I thought I should extend the visa to buy myself more time to get things done properly. I visited the Immigration office at 2pm today but I was told it’s closed so I will try earlier at 7am Tomorrow.

Please advise if you have done this before, how was the process like, what are the requirements and how long does it normally take.
