salavan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi I'm just filling in the form to apply for a single re entry visa The form asks for the date of departure and the date of return. Does anyone know if these dates have to be exact, and fixed as I may decide to return early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 They don't have to exact. The re-entry permit will be good for you to return anytime on or before the date your current permission to stay expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if I get a flight out earlier after I have obtained the re entry visa date I leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 4 hours ago, salavan said: How about if I get a flight out earlier after I have obtained the re entry visa date I leave The re-entry permit runs from the date it is issued until the expiry of your permission to stay. (If it is a single re-entry permit, it is obviously dead once used for re-entry.) I suspect the dates on the form are to allow immigration to detect if you are being an idiot. Some assume a re-entry permit stops the clock on their permission to stay, and that they can return far in the future to restart the clock. Anyway, the dates you specify on the form are of no consequence as far as the validity of the re-entry permit is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dates really aren't important. I usually leave them blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
