Anyone know how far in advance you can go for the 60 day extension? I am only about 3 weeks into my current 60 extension, but if I could get a fresh 60 days right before they discontinue it, prob worth it. Seems they are giving 60 days from the point of extension, not expiration of existing visa.

Totally depends on your local immigration office.

Most offices allow you to apply for a new extension when your current stamp remains 30days or less. Some allow you to do it when you have 45days or less with your current stamp. A few would accept only when you have less than 1 week.

Check with your immigration office.

What are your original entry stamp and your history of extensions?

If you want to get Covid extension, you need to apply for it on or before 25 March.

If you are eligible to apply again depends on your answer to my question.

seeing as the current covid extension program ENDS Friday the 25th I'd say IF you're wanting to get one more covid extension squeezed in go apply this week.

There is no guarantee that the program will be continued. SO if it's not you leave when the stamp you have runs out

Do it now I'm on my way to do mine. Immigration officer told me when I went last to come back before the 25th as mine runs out April the 5th but extensions stop on the 25th :) never been asked for a document to say I can't travel either

It's an extension based on the inability to travel due to covid, your visa or visa exempt entry is in your passport as you state the 25th is the deadline for this extension
