Hi , 

Can I straight  apply for  Covid visa 60 days when my tourist visa 60 days is going to end ? Skip the extended visa 30 days .

Please advice .

Thanks 🙏🏻

Summary so far

The user inquires about the possibility of applying directly for a 60-day Covid visa upon the expiration of their current 60-day tourist visa, expressing a desire to skip the 30-day extension. Commenters mention that the rules require the 30-day extension first, despite variations in enforcement at different immigration offices. There are also mentions of a recent change in rules regarding Covid extensions and a suggestion to use an agent for assistance.

Apparently some immigration office let you some don't.

Name the office you are going to visit and someone who has been to that office maybe can advise you.

they've changed the rules literally a day or two ago which explicitly state a 30 day extension must be taken before any unable to travel due to covid extension is given.

I always thought it was that officially the proper way but some were flexible. It does make sense to use whats correct the first time.
