Ok just one more follow up question. So I need 15 days left on a current stamp. Assuming I enter on a 60 day tourist visa I need to apply by day 45 correct? If i apply for a 30 day extension on the tourist visa does that then in turn give me an additional opportunity to apply within another 15 days of that stamp?
Ok I see that sounds pretty efficient. I hear that they can be pretty strict about the requirements in terms of switching from tourist to non b while in country. Is this work around known to work nowadays? Or is the whole process for the visa pretty much the same?
