neytil Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 For a Non-Imm O, with re-entry permit is there a required number of minimum days until expiry? Assuming a further extension will be applied before expiry As the other Visa on Arrival, Visa exempts are 15, 30 days (even though different visa class), just wondering if airlines or immigration would object if the amount of time remaining is less than this? Advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 There is no minimum number of days to use a re-entry permit as long as it is done before it expires. Of course you would not want to do so late that you did not have time to apply for anther extension. I am aware of people entering with about 5 days remaining and then applying for their new extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ubonjoe.....wonder if airlines will ask for ongoing flight ticket even with valid re-entry permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a valid visa or re-entry permit a return or onward ticket is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case (5 days remaining) could one ask at the airport to be given 30 days visa-free instead of using the reentry permit? So, if for any reason refused extension, one would have time to leave (or to apply for a new non-O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is no, however I personally had an experience where I was flying Melbourne to Saigon and had a multi entry permit for Vietnam. The problem with airline in Melb (Jetstar) was that my 3 month visa for Vietnam only had 5 days validity. They made me show onward flight to Thailand. I would not be concerned however would go to departure airport with enough time to buy throw away or "rent a flight" if ran into an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
