yeah, but they don’t know that do they ?? 🤦🏻

@Brandon ***********

no. You can do just under 9 months - which has been my point throughout.

@Brandon ***********

you do the math mate !

If you do a 90d (60+30d) then that takes up 3 months of your visa’s 6m Still with me ?

So then you have 3 months left on your visa. If you take another 60+30, then you have 6m in TH and your visa has expired. Still with me ?

If, however, you just take your 60d and get another 30d extension, BUT exit before the 30d ie in the final week of the visa, and then re-enter you can go for another 60+30.

So, I can see how you can get to 8m and let’s say 3 weeks, even 3 weeks and a few days. It is still not quite 9m. So I am asking people to explain how they get to the 9m - i assume it is leave a return the next day ?

@Stieve ******

that is 6 months, not 9 !

@Jan *****************

how do you get to 9’ish ??

@Graham *****

what do you mean ‘what do you think’ ???

I am asking here because I don’t know ….

@Brandon ***********

so not 9 months ? More like 8 and half

How long can you repeat this process ? i.e. can you just keep getting one tourist visa after another or is there a limit ??

@Jan *****************

is that right ???

I can see that you get 60+30 on any single visit.

So are you saying get a 6 month ME visa and enter at the start of the visa 6m validity. Then take the 90d (60+30) which takes you to month 4 of your visa. Then enter again and take just 60d; that takes you to month 6 of your visa, so you leave and re-enter in the final week of your visa and take another 90d (60+30). So, that makes just under 8 months. I can’t see how you are getting to 9 months ??

Did you get your name on the birth certificate, naming you as the father ? If you did, then you may be able to avoid the court process. If you didn’t you will have to go though the court process.
