I need some advice. My visa expires the 18th. I know i can get the extra 7 days, taking me to the 15th. The only problem is the earliest flight i can get to Yangon is on the 26th. What can I do? Explain at immigration and hope for grace?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on how to manage their visa situation given that it expires on the 18th, while their flight to Yangon is on the 26th. They mention the possibility of obtaining a 7-day grace period but are unsure about how to handle immigration. Comments suggest showing the flight ticket to immigration to request an extension, or considering a Covid visa that offers additional time.

i plan to go to immigration on Wednesday. Will then know. I hope they have grace. Someone told me though if the first 2 days of overstay is on a weekend it doesn't count. If i only get the 7 days to get out, then my first day will be a Saturday. Will let you know after my visit.

Have you considered applying for a Covid visa? It will initially get you 2 weeks and you can extend it for another 6 weeks.
