leb0wsk1 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Howdy all, I was hoping someone could help with a question regarding a BOI visa cancellation... I'm leaving a job at the end of the month and for whatever reason I always thought I had 7 days to get out of the country once my current visa gets cancelled. However the lady taking care of our "visa stuff" has just come back with this statement; "usualy non Immigrant can extend 7 day but we have visa by BOI, So BOI give 15 days. Totaly 15+7=21 days." Is anyone up to speed with BOI and can confirm this 21 day extension of stay upon visa cancellation? I've had some, a'hem, misinformation from local "visa stuff" staff in the past, so was hoping the learned members of TV might be able to confirm if this 21 day thing is legit. She's not asked for my passport, so I'll have no visual record/stamp of the visa being cancelled in-country. I guess the BOI multi-entry stamp in my passport just gets flagged on the network/systems at immigration once I try and exit at the border (which also smells a bit fishy IMHO). Any insights or experience in this area is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 As far as I know they only grant 7 days to leave the country. It is not really an extension. Your extension must be canceled before they do the 7 day stamp. You passport is required for them to cancel your extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leb0wsk1 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks ubonjoe. I did think it was a little bit strange that she didn't want my passport at all during this process. I'll find out when she's visiting immigration to cancel the work permit and make sure I tag along with her and get that passport stamp. At least then I'll know when my exit date is supposed to be...
