ORIGINAL POSTER

So my passport expires this June on the 25th. I have to extend my tourist visa visa n the 24th. A few questions...

Can a temporary passport allow me to extend? Also if my passport is away to be renewed, can a temporary passport be a good solution in the meantime. Or should I wait till I extend, get 60 days, and then send it off to be renewed? And is it possible to extend on an expired passport?

Sadly for you, you should have already been dealing with this months ago 🙁

You have a passport that expires in 16 days 😕

And you can't get an extension longer than your passport validity.

I have no idea if your embassy can issue you an emergency passport or a temporary passport OR how long it takes but you sure need to get after it 🙁

Nope you can't get an extension any longer than the validity of your passport, so you need to sort it out or you're gonna run on overstay

Also as you are working, maybe think about getting the correct visa and work permit

Thanks 🙏Yeah, I have an appointment at the embassy today for an expedited passport. I will ask about an emergency passport as well. 👌🏼✨

good luck with it, at least the US emergency passport is good for a year and you can use it to get extensions and travel.

Hope your country works out that way too
