Good morning, I have just been informed that the ONLY option for an extension of a Non B Visa is to go on a 30 day emergency tourist visa.
Is this correct? Can someone confirm if this is true?
So basically after almost two decades living here, paying taxes and everything else that comes with owning a business, now I have to lose my Non B and go back to a tourist visa? :/
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking confirmation on whether the only way to extend a Non-B visa is to switch to a 30-day emergency tourist visa. Responses indicate that it is possible to apply for a one-year extension based on employment instead of transitioning to a tourist visa. However, there seem to be varying experiences reported by community members regarding the effectiveness and criteria for obtaining extensions at different immigration offices.
