Can I apply for a COVID extension if I still have 30 days left on my current visa?
Hey currently on a tr visa, 60days + 30day extention! Can I apply for covid extention which gives me 60 days or do I need to complete the extra 30 before applying for covid extention?

is there a limit on how many times we can receive the 60 days stamp? Today I visited the immigration office got the under consideration stamp for the 4th Feb. I entered on March 2020, the immigration lady asked me to find a flight and leave as i have been here for almost a year now, as covid is not going away. I said ok I’ll try lolTod *********
@Vit ********
right now the limit is you just got your last one :O That's because the order allowing 60 day covid extensions runs out on the 29th of Jan.
There has been NO announcement from the gov't that they are going to extend this order.

found the immigration lady a bit rude earlier today. As I don’t think she gets to decide who stays and who doesn’t based on how many extensions I have taken previously. Rules should be same for everyone. Entered on 30 day visa exemption back in March 2020, and the rest were like 30 followed by 60 days extensions. If there’s a limit to how many times one can apply for extensions, they should make it clear at the first place.Tod *********
like I just said
Watch for the news, see what announcement they make and go back to get your extension on the 4th.
@V**
, as of right now, you hit the limit. :O Watch for the news, see what announcement they make and go back to get your extension on the 4th.

I just wanted to give my experience at MTT today. It was my first extension so they only gave me 30 days on my TR visa, I asked about covid 60 days but she said no. They didn’t ask for a TM30. I had an appointment that I booked online but there was no need to tell them because there hardly anyone was there. In and out in about 30 minutes.
