Hello, sorry I'm new here, I tried to read informations between a lot of messages, not found, maybe my question is already somewhere here.

On September 26th I obtained a special 90-days visa with the agency until December 25th. 

 a few days later it was announced that the starting date is 1 November.

  Can I change the expire date of my visa from December 25th to January 29th? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired whether they could change the expiration date of their special 90-day visa, issued until December 25, to January 29, after an announcement altering the starting date of the visa. Responses indicated that once a visa is obtained through an agent, the expiration date is typically non-negotiable. Other users shared similar experiences confirming that the dates set by immigration officials, especially in relation to amnesty announcements, are generally fixed.

So let's see, you handed your passport and a pile of money to an agent who went to a province you don't live in, used an immigration office you don't use and got you a 90 day "medical" extension.

It will have the number 2.25 written on it some where (that is the clause in the police order of the medical extension rule)

That means NO your extension ending date cannot be moved and your current stamp has NOTHING to do with the amnesty announced OR the changing of dates they're doing for people on amnesty.

You are NOT on amnesty ;)

If you obtained a extension of stay using an agent then the date would not be changeable. You got what you paid for. For future extensions you’ll have to work out whether you want to use an agency or just apply on your own.

both agency and the immigration employee are competent. The immigration employee was telling you what the law is. The agency was telling you what they can do for you if you pay them enough money.
