Does the ED visa need to be cancelled if you leave just before the end of final extension? My school said not necessary, and has messages from head of immigration saying the same. Because that's the visa finished, rather than cancelling half way thru for example. Can I take this advice as correct? tia
I used a 6 month METV visa to come in initially. When that ran out I went out and back in on 30 day exempt. My first time coming in exempt. Immigration said they put a note on system that they'd advised me next time I need to have a visa to enter. And they may not let me in without.
For context, next time I border bounce, I will get 60 day visa, extend 30 days. And the time after that I only want to come in exempt as will be for shorter time.
So my question. You say we are allowed 2 x exempt entries per year. Will this be confirmed on embassy website?
I misunderstood this âšī¸ I applied for same visa in August 2022 and had it approved same month.. when I was due to come in October. I thought I was being smart by getting it early but think I've done myself out of some months.. I thought it would be valid for 6 months from the date I entered (October)..
I guess going forward for next few months I will just have to do border bounce, get 45 days on arrival and extend a further 30 days.
I believe there are no limits to the amount of times I do this in a year... correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
