Visa till Sunday

[Chrisdoc123]

Hi. My first 60 days of my METV ends on Sunday. Just wondered thoughts on going to immigration Monday (overstay 1 day) or should I go Friday. I don't want to endanger my plans of staying here long term .

If i was you, i would go on Friday or earlier.

 

I dont think you would have a problem if you do it monday. But better to be safe.

 

You could also do a border crossing to Laos/Cambodja/Malaysia, or fly in/out.

If you don't go want to go before Monday then don't go then either, it is a holiday (labour day), go Tuesday instead.

It's better to go early rather than late, but if your stay ends when immigration is closed they shouldn't charge you for overstaying as long as you apply the first day they re-open. You lose nothing by applying early as the extension will start from when the 60 days ends regardless of when you apply.

It is my understanding that if you visa expires on a weekend or a holiday, you would not be charged for any overstay if you went on the next available working day. However as you say you don't want to jeopardise future visits not that it would why not do it today Thursday that way it's done and dusted

Thanks for the info. I have a flight out on the 29th of May so didn't want to go early but if the extension starts from when the 60 days ends I'll go on Friday. Cheers.

Just for personal interest, if you're not flying out until May why not just cross a border and get another 60 days? No idea where you are but it might be a cheaper option.

I have a not too cunning plan to go to Kuala L so already bought a cheap Air Asia ticket my lord. Was going to leave and come back for another 60 days .

Day 1 of your extension will be May 1st and will end at midnight on May 30th. So you're extension will cover your stay.

Hi. I didn't quite understand the process but if I had my time again would do as you suggest. Would have been less painful than waiting around the office and for the visa fee I could have had a short cheap holiday instead. Didn't realise had to pay again for the extension or could get 60 days when I made the plans. Cheers anyway.
