Hi, my visa expires on Monday. Should I go to immigration on Friday or Monday? Do I need to go the immigration in the area where I am staying? Also, do you need to book an appointment for a 4 week visa extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The best time to go to immigration for a visa extension is before your visa expiration date, ideally on Thursday instead of Friday or Monday, as those days are the busiest. You must visit the immigration office that corresponds to the province where you are staying, and no appointment is necessary for a 4-week visa extension.

Wow..why did you wait till the last minute, Monday is one of the worst days to visit immigration. You must go to the office where your TM30 has you registered as staying. Good luck🤞

What’s wrong with Thursday? Do it as soon as you can in case you have problems.

What visa have you got?

If it’s multiple entry you can just leave and come back.

Fridays and Mondays are the worst days to go to immigration as they are the busiest days. Don't know why you waited until the last minute to do your extension.

You must go to the immigration office that matches the province where you are staying.

No appointment is required and you wouldn't be able to book one this close anyways.
