TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about their COVID visa extension expiring on 3/9/2022 while their flight back is on 13/9/2022. Comments suggest two main options: changing the flight or doing a border bounce, but warn that the latter could lead to re-entry denial due to previous extensions. An overstay of ten days is possible but would incur a fine.

You really only have two choices. Change your flight, or do a border bounce. The border bounce might be risky if you've got covid extension history as there have been a few reports of re-entry denial. Ten day overstay is not recommended. This will stay on your immigration record. Easier just to change your flight
