Sorry if this question has been asked already.

I have a French passport and my girlfriend a Spanish one, and we don't want to go back home right now.

Currently on a tourist visa and we're going to immigration tomorrow to extend it for 30 days.

My question is, will we be able to extend it once more in a month? Currently our embassies do not provide the support letter but they maybe will next month.

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently on a tourist visa and wants to know if they can extend it for an additional 30 days after the first extension, especially since their embassies do not currently provide support letters. They are advised that they can extend their visa once, but will require documentation for further extensions. Additionally, the unpredictable situation due to the ongoing global pandemic may affect visa policies.

i guess nobody in the world wanted this virus, so please stop using it as an excuse. It is happening in real life, there is no reset button on your body.

There is no control alt delete and start from the beginning.

I do not want, is not an excuse to ignore real life

But yeah, you can get 30 day Extension of Stay and after that an 7 day application not approved and after that maybe a 30 day Extension of Stay using Embassy letters, but who knows what happened in the mean time.

Be aware that by ignoring all the travel advice, your insurance may not cover your actions. Be careful and stay healthy

You can extend once and then you must have a letter. I enquired at roi et IO yesterday

Thanks so much Rob. After the extension, will they automatically approve it? Just wondering if they gave you more info :)

things are changing beyond all recognition on a daily basis, nobody can possibly tell you what the situation will be in a month

Do you have funds ? Plenty of places to stay. If I didn't already live here I would consider staying too.

Funds are not an issue, but the visa is :/

Things change daily. Who knows what happens in a 30 days time.

if you see what is happening all over the world you can bet it's not going to get any better in a month

in two days this country goes into an State of Emergency due to a virus. It may be wise to reconsider your holiday plancs.

At this point they're not travel plans anymore :( Things are way worse in France, that's why I don't want to go back
