ATTENTION NEW MEMBERZ:
IF you are on a 30 day entry stamp, a 60 day tourist visa entry stamp OR a 30 day normal extension from one of those you do NOT need to go to the immigration office (or even contact them) until they tell you what will happen on the 30th <- the day the blanket amnesty expires.
IF you are on a long term extension of stay (retirement, marriage, raising children, employment, education etc) we are advising you GO get your new extension like normal
IF you are on a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type visa <- where you bounce out and back in every 90 days we are advising you CONTACT your immigration office to see if you are covered on the blanket amnesty or not. (there are conflicting reports about it).
IF you are on ANY "under consideration" stamp from having used the embassy letter to get the "unable to travel due to covid-19" extension and your under consideration stamp is expiring we advise you CONTACT your immigration office to see how they interpret the rule of blanket amnesty.
The reason we are doing this IS that there are conflicting reports from people who have had "under consideration" stamps and DID visit their immigration office and were told they were NOT covered and they received the rest of their "unable to travel due to covid-19" stamp like normal
AND
There were reports from people on year-mulit-Non-Imm visas who also went to the immigration office and were told they were NOT covered under the blanket amnesty.
Given those reports IF you have the stamps I mentioned we advise you contact OR go to your immigration office and see if you are covered or not.
