My receipt of notification slip tells me to "This is not an extension of stay - Please notify your address again on 9 Jan 2009 - Keep in Passport."

But the stamp in my passport shows 26 Jan 2009 as my extension of stay permitted up to date.

Does my reporting on 9 Jan 2009 automatically extend the 26 Jan 2009 day by one year or do I have to make a second trip later in the month.

Thanks In Advance

My receipt of notification slip tells me to "This is not an extension of stay - Please notify your address again on 9 Jan 2009 - Keep in Passport."

That is a reminder to report your address to Immigration on 9th January. It is a requiremnt to report every 90 days of continueous stay. You have a window of 7 days either side of the date to do it.

It is completely seperate to your extension of stay.

When you do your 90 day report you can also apply for your extension of stay at the same time.

To avoid making 2 trips to immigration you could do your application for your new extension before Jan. 17 and not get fined for your report being late.
