ORIGINAL POSTERHello, my covid extension visa is valid until February 19th, I heard last day to apply for a new covid extension is January 29th, does that mean I need to go before this date otherwise I won't get an extension? And if I go on before January 29th do I get the extension from this date or from the date my visa is valid?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The last day to apply for a COVID extension visa is January 29th. It's recommended to apply before this date, ideally on January 28th, to ensure you receive a 60-day extension from the new application date, though it may vary by immigration office.

In my opinion, you should go on January 28 to get a 60 day extension of stay based on COVID-19. You can stay for another 60 days from January 28 (at most immigration offices, some add it to your existing extension of stay)

At the moment nobody knows what will be happening after the 29jan if they will continue with the 60 extension or that's it only time will tell
