Extension of stay

An extension of stay is a request to remain in a country beyond the original period authorized by your visa or entry permission. It involves applying to the country’s immigration authorities before your current stay expires, explaining your reasons (such as work, study, or personal circumstances) and showing you can support yourself during the additional time. If approved, your visa or permit is extended, allowing you to stay legally longer. If denied, you must leave the country by the original return date. This process helps travelers and temporary residents continue their activities without violating immigration laws.
