Thanks!

Thanks so much! I started filling that out - it turns out we still need some addl. info on the property transfer from our local registration office to complete this form. But I wouldn't have known this if you hadn't sent this link, many thanks!

@James **************

He's been working at this university since Jan 2022. This is simply a renewal.

Thank you all! Advice much appreciated!

He's concerned that if he border bounces & obtains a NEW visa on arrival, the school will have to totally restart the Ed visa application. That's the hesitation on flying out.

@Greg *****

He inadvertently did not obtain the re-entry permit because he didn't realize it was required. He went to visit his 90-year-old father he hasn't seen in 2 years b/c of covid. So it was a mistake. And he doesn't want to fly out now - only his visa is expiring. It's not idle pleasure travel, he just made a mistake.

VOA

One tip that may be useful: try booking a flight out with frequent flyer miles if you have any. I recently booked a "just in case" flight out within my visa period using miles, United, & was able to cancel it 100%, miles were put back on my account & the $20 fee was refunded, no fees at all. Check your flyer miles cancelation policy. (You can tell I haven't traveled much during the pandemic. Apparently airlines have loosened up on cancelation policies.)

Agree! This group is the best. You have helped me immensely, good advice without the snark so common online.
