Hi, my non-immigrant B visa was valid until 12 of May, though during the borderrun on the 9th of March, the custom gave a stamp until the 6th of June (now on amnesty until 31 of July) only the custom said i had to extend my workpermit which had an expiring date of 26th of March. Unfortunately through circumstances i was one day late for my workpermit extension and had to cancel it. In that moment it was not such a big deal anyway for my company was closed because of covid lock down. Now i can't apply for a new workpermit, because first its needed to renew the non-immigrant B visa abroad, which is not possible in case of border closures...are there any possibilities for visa extension/renewal? Thxxx
Answer summary
The user has faced issues with their Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit due to a late application for renewal, compounded by COVID-19 lockdowns. Responses from the community indicate that since the user allowed the non-B visa to expire and the work permit to be canceled, they will likely need to return to their home country to apply for a new Non-Immigrant B visa, as border runs are no longer an option.

Martin if your work permit is cancelled and your non-B has expired then you are there on an amnesty so likely you will have to go back to your country of origin and apply for a new Non-B. There are no more border runs unfortunately, that's definitely out

When you want to extend your wp you must do so 1 month in advance, not later - as it will loose validation.

All you can do is wait for the new announcement and see how we all can get a new valid stay

No, you did choose not to apply for the Extension of Stay before 6 th of Jun and let your Work Permit expire.

You need to start with a new Non Immigrant B visa and a new Work Permit.
