ORIGINAL POSTER

I am currently on Visa Amnesty which is going to end soon. I have applied for the SmartVisa but it's under process and it will take time until it's processed.

I request you guys to guide me what visa should I apply for during the period between 25th September 2020 and until the result of my application is declared.

Is it ok to apply for the 30 days extension in visa Amnesty considering the flight Operations are not following regular schedule at the moment?

Thank you so much

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is currently on Visa Amnesty, which is nearing its end, and has applied for a Smart Visa that is still being processed. They are seeking advice on what visa to apply for between the end of their current visa on September 25, 2020, and the result of their Smart Visa application. The possibility of applying for a 30-day extension under the Visa Amnesty due to irregular flight schedules is in question. Comments suggest obtaining letters from relevant authorities to support the extension application.

get a letter from your embassy stating you can't travel due to covid and get the 30 day extension, get a letter from a doctor or hospital saying you can't travel due to covid and get a medical extension OR as immigration put it "prepare to leave" on or by the 26th.

Why did you wait so long to apply for the SMART visa that the approval would run past the amnesty?
