sticky Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I have a friend arriving next week who will be stamped in for 30 days on arrival, i know from past experience that this can be extended for 7 days. He has been told that the law has been changed and and you can now get a 30 day extension. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yes. The extension of stay for a visa exempt entry was increased to 30 days several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 30 days is standard at all immigration offices. 7 days to leave the country would be given to someone that has an extension application declined.

That is what a person with a 15 day visa on arrival would get. Or for a person that are getting their visa exempt entries based upon a bilateral agreement.
