Good morning. Please could I ask a quick question to Admin: I am going to immigration this morning to cancel my Non B, extension of stay and work permit ( boty currently stamped until Jan 2024) My understanding is they will give me a new permitted to stay stamp to correspond with the end of my contract ( 31 July 2023) . My intension is to border bounce to gain a 30 day exempt then apply for a Non - O based on being over 50. Now, as I already have a multi entry re-entry permit in my passport ( valid until Jan 2024), my intention is to bounce in - out on 1st August to avoid them stamping me back in on the original Non - O extension. My question is: will I recieve an overstay stamp, as I'm bouncing a day after my new permitted to stay date, or do I get 24 hrs to leave after 31st July? I am worried I'll get an overstay stamp which will affect my application for the New Non - O based on being over 50. Hope this all makes sense and would appreciate your advices.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user intends to cancel their Non-B visa and work permit before border bouncing to gain a 30-day visa exemption, then apply for a Non-O visa based on age (over 50). They are concerned about receiving an overstay stamp since they plan to bounce one day after their new permitted stay date. Community members clarify that the cancellation will align with their employment end date, and if exiting by air, a minor overstay would not incur a fine. Additional options for applying for a Non-O extension directly without bouncing were also discussed.
