@James *******

thanks James. As I remember some time ago, there was difference in time 2 or 3 months in case this is first or consecutive extension. So if now 2 months regardless of first or consecutive, this is good

@Daniel ****

But please arrive as early as possible. Not sure about current times, but before pandemic I spent once 45 min in the queue for re-entry stamp. This is unpredictable, and mostly depends on how many people may be in the queue.

She can get a visa but only at Warsaw Consulate, as Kiev Honorary Consulate can't issue visas.

> I am going to ask for a new passport at the Italian consulate.

You should do this at least 6 months before your renewal date. I don't know how long this (to get new one) can take for your country. But last 1,5 years my country consulate can't issue new document in usual times, because of very slow diplomatic courier post delivery, airlines stop to flight here. A lot of people must wait for 6+ months and I even know the person, who spent several thousands USD to flights, express service (in the home country) and quarantine on return back just to not miss extension because of validity expiration.

I hope situation is not so grim for you, however, you will need to do extension (again) next year by the end of May. And your usual extension date will move to that date, because as explained already, you will get extension only until current passport validity date. Also, the best thing to apply for new passport right now.
