Who should apply
Visitors whose authorised stay is about to expire may request an extension from the Immigration Department before the current permission lapses.
Required documentation
- Completed extension of stay form.
- Valid passport and copy of the entry stamp.
- Proof of accommodation and updated travel itinerary.
- Evidence of funds to cover the extended stay.
Process overview
- Submit the application in person with all supporting documents.
- Pay the extension fee and retain the receipt.
- Wait for notification—processing time varies based on caseload and supporting evidence.
Extensions are discretionary; incomplete submissions may be refused. Apply well before your current permission expires.
