I was hoping to apply for an extension to my current Non O multi entry visa. I have just noticed that stamped across the bottom of the visa in my passport is "NO EXTENSION OF STAY". Why would this be there and although it might sound a daft question does it litterally mean what it says and do I now have to get another Non O multi from KL or similiar ?.......thanks

Don't worry. Just go ahead and apply for your extension if you qualify.

Some embassies/consulates put this stamp under every visa.

thanks for that.................I was kind of hoping it was just one of those put it on all type stamps........Phew !!!.....

Depends what type of extension you are going to apply for!

1 Year extension based on retirement of marriage is no problem, just go ahead and apply.

A 30 day extension (like you would get on a tourist visa) you cannot get.

That is the reason for the warning notice - people who have used tourist visas assume a semi-automatic 30 day extension of stay is available. For non immigrant visa entry this is not the case so that stamp is made. Should not be a problem for one year extensions of stay.

Just to clarify for others who may be reading this, I was talking about a 1 yr extension based on marriage.......thanks to everyone for the great feedback as usual.
