Also i have heard of some immigration offices allowing you to get the 2 month extension on each 3 month entry. This would only allow 15 months though. Worth a thought if you dont want to be going out every 3 months.

Also please check with your local immigration office to see if they will do the extension more than once. As some will and some wont.😁

@Trevor ******

no, you do not have to leave the country with a 1 year extension of stay.

Make sure the school fills out the paper work for the correct embassy too.

Yep, definetely a police report. And a letter from the embassy to.ask to transfer the stamps/visa

Ive only ever heard of option 2 for the non o. Which is 60 days extension. Didnt know there was even an option 3.

They may ask they may not, its better to be prepared.

Id fly into a neighbouring country and use a land border. If its on the system it would show up at a land border aswell.

How can they ban you from using it, unless you have been blacklisted.

Emirates do ask for a return ticket in the u.k anyway. A few years ago, they didnt see my visa and tried to deny me bording until i pointed my visa out.

Should be stapled to your passport, or with it.😁
