I just went to IT Square visa exemption office today to extend. I tried booking appointment online but they’re booked until next month so don’t bother.

Pro tip - arrive at 7:30-8:00 AM and you will be in and out within an hour. Arrive later and it could take you 4-5 hours. The office is inside the IT Square mall. This mall doesn’t open until 10AM, so if you go to main entrance then you’ll be confused. You need to go inside the on the corner to gain access to the building. Then take elevator to 3rd floor and you’ll see the visa office.

You can make copies of passport, get a 4x6 photo done, and retrieve & fill out the 3 forms required all at the immigration office. However, if you have all of this ready prior to going, you will save yourself a lot of time.

I arrived at 8AM and was out by 9:30AM. When I left, the line was ridiculously long. Don’t wait.. go early trust me

No. If you’re scared then buy a $50 flight to a neighboring country.

You have to check everyday and don’t hesitate when you see a good price. They can change daily. Sometimes a flight next day is cheaper than next week.
