ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all!

I'm on a Visa Exemption that expires February 12th, which I want to extend. I have 2 questions;

1. Will the visa extension period of 30 days start from when the stamp expires (12th) or will it start the day I lodge the extension?

2. Are the requirements for extending a Visa Exemption the same as  a 60 Day Tourist Visa?

Thanks for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The extension period for a Visa Exemption starts from the date of the expiration of the current visa stamp, not from the day the extension is lodged. Additionally, the requirements for extending a Visa Exemption are the same as those for a 60-Day Tourist Visa.

It gets added to the end of your existing stamp.

They are both tourist extensions, the requirements are the same.
