yes apparently, it's just that I didn't know about it and I was pretty sure I needed a letter so I lost a lot of time trying to get one and I waited a while before going to immigration.
I thought I needed copy of all my pages too, but they just took these 3 and the guy told me to keep the copies for the next extension, not sure what it means 😁
Yes, I guess you are right, some of the people in the queue were asking for embassy letter but I supposed it was because they already extended once or maybe they were staying on different type of visa, it's hard to know. But I have the feeling they were helpful and answering to every different case at the immigration service I went to.
I updated to precise it was my first extension on my entry stamp back to March. But I actually thought I also needed a letter from my embassy. So for people who don't know and who don't have extend yet their visa they can do it without letter.
I entered 19th of March with a 30 days tourist stamp that I didn't extend cause the amnesty started before. So yes it was my first extension for this stamp.
