Retirement Extension, when?

Thanks for the (gentle) replies.

 

My daughters are coming over next year and one choice is to go to Cambodia on 2nd July. I really wanted to have 3 nights in Siem Reap, returning on the 5th July.

 

I could just stay 2 nights - or implement my fall-back plan of getting the extension in June before they arrive.

You can do your entry on the 5th but It is always best to plan on the day before the last day just in case something went wrong.

It seems you have a multiple entry visa. You can do your extension during the last 30 days of any of your 90 day entries. You don't have to wait until your visa expires.

 

 

Perhaps I was trying to be too greedy.

 

Enter on the last day of my visa (say, 5th July) and get permission to stay 90 days (say, 3 October) and then go to immigration early September for extension.

 

 

To save any undue risks I can go late May/early June to do the extension and get a multiple reentry permit at the same time. I need to complete everything either before my daughters arrive on 21 June.

I was just making sure you were aware that you do not have to wait for the visa to expire. There have been some people that were under the impression that the visa had to expire.

I assume by greedy means getting the full use of your visa not financial if you factor in the cost of doing border runs.

Doing it in May/June would be a good idea because you wouldn't have to worry about your visa when you plan your trip.

Yes, thinking about maximising 15 months out of my visa.
