Hi y'all! Thank you so much for making this group and thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

I'm from the United States here on a 60-day tourist visa that I applied for and got before I left. My visa is valid until the 13th of November. I would like to extend 30 days. If I go in on tuesday (the 8th) will that give me enough time? What do I need to bring? I don't really understand the residency document, do I just have the hotel I'm staying at fill it out? And what reason do I give for extending my stay, I just want to extend it but it seems like I have to have a reason? I didn't see any option for just "tourist" purposes. Do I have to show proof of onward travel like I did to get the first one?

Any other advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank you all! Got my extension yesterday!

Now my next question: can I get another 30 day extension? What's the limit on extensions you can get? Or is it only one?

Thank you!

nope you're done, you can only get ONE 30 day extension on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry.

You're here as a tourist so write tourism for the reason.

You can go apply for the 30 day extension any time now, no need to wait until the last day you don't lose time applying early the extension is added to your current stamp

The TM30 is what the hotel filed online when you checked in, ask them for a copy of it.

There is no proof of onward travel required for an extension

This is a general guide of what you may need
