just wondered as when I booked my flight they had a free travel insurance scheme going which covered the whole length of the trip which was handy as I was coming for 3 months. This was stopped at the end of December. But because I had paid for my flights before the cut off date they still honored the insurance even though my flight wasn't until the end of January. As I say that's how it was with the old scheme, I have no idea what the new scheme is. But certainly worth double checking.

If you have booked and fully paid for the flight before the cut off date of 31st of March I would have thought it would still be valid for your travel dates.

I think I will just delete. It seems pointless.

@Stuart ********

has anyone had much joy with the app. I have it on the phone but it doesn't seem to do a lot. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

@Tom ********

sorry my mistake, losing track of time already. Entered January 28th, visa expires April 27th.

Thanks for the good sound info as always.

@Tod ********

no I didn't ask. But I will now certainly call in again when I'm close by and ask for the handout. Thanks for letting me know.

@Tod ********

thank you. The funds are in the bank and I have another two and a half months left on my original visa. So that means I can go to immigration 2 weeks before the visa expires to apply for my extension. Will that be enough time. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I think that has answered my question.

Well said. Excellent advice from the group.
