Jan 13, 2022

ORIGINAL POSTER

Seeking clarity (apologies and my appreciation in advance): US citizen who arrived under the visa exempt process in late December wishing to "extend" and stay for another 30 days. Would I qualify for "Visa Extension - in the case of tourism purposes"? OR is my only option to seek the COVID-19 extension?
