ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello similar to the last OP's post-my visa expires tomorrow(10th)not today ; however immigration is closed and I was planning an extension. Will showing up to immigration a day later be an overstay or do I have to fly out tomorrow?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about potential overstay penalties since their visa expires on the 10th but immigration is closed, preventing them from applying for an extension until the next business day. Comments suggest that going to immigration the next day should be acceptable and that any overstay penalties may be waived due to the office closure.

The Immigration offices will be BUSY on Tuesday due to being closed Monday. Arrive early.

Good luck...

You will get extension as usual if you go next business day immediately after,. You will be stamped overstay but fine will be waived due to office closure.

If you want to avoid mentioning overstay in your passport, the only way is to get out the country before 23:59 10th Feb and enter back.

The risk you will have on the way to the immigration office is same to that another OP.
