ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian retiree is seeking advice on applying for two visas: a volunteer non-O visa to participate in a conservation project for one month, followed by an extension of 30-45 days for tourism purposes. Commenters noted that while a volunteer non-O visa provides a 90-day entry stamp, such visas are rare and typically require sponsorship by legitimate organizations. Many volunteers may end up working under tourist visas, which is illegal but common practice.
