I hear Rio is nice this time of year.

@Natasha *******

don't let these guys scare you. Sounds like you're fine. It's people turning up over and over again for a visa exempt that have issues. If you've done 2x TV or 3x Visa Exempt in one calendar year (6 months) all the evidence is that you're fine. (I hear that coming over land 3x for a visa exempt can be an issue too. Stick to airports if doing that.

No. Nobody checks. But when a truck rams into the side of your tuk tuk and you've a 200k bill for 6 months in hospital then you have 2 options: claim the insurance or sell your house. Good luck with the decision.

@Chris *****

thanks. That's the answer I was looking for. Others guessing (wrongly) but you've actually done it.

The ticket was an online application 60+30? London Embassy? To leave after 90 days?

@Christopher ************

sure, it's an option. This is the problem I have with this question. Lots of helpful ideas, but nobody knows if they accept a bus ticket or not. But this is my question.

@Christopher ************

I have a flight back home after 6 months. Just need to bridge the 90 day visas.

@Christopher ************

thanks. Though I believe they do accept bus tickets. Just need to be sure. Hopefully somebody knows for sure. I get the point about flights. But there are bus tickets $50 less which are perfect for my plans.

Had the same thing. Timing helps for a quick turn around. Can take 4 full days to process. You must hand your passport in. Best to leave Sunday. Check in using your passport. Monday morning hand over the passport to the Embassy. That way you can safely have a flight booked back on the Friday. Otherwise you get caught up with extra weekend days. And watch out for bank holidays.

A small fine. Absolutely nothing to worry about. It's a standard procedure they do all day.

@Noel *********

yes. Guarenteed to be accepted for a 30day extension. There's is no issue here with that. We know this. Its a different point that's the debate.
