This is for a 60 day multiple entry tourist visa not a 60 day visa exemption
Simon *******
Come on a 60 day visa then apply for a retirement visa or get a multiple entry 60 tourist visa can stay for 6 months every 60 days you need to do a visa run to get another 60 days,or chance it on multiple 60 day exemptions doing boarder runs
