visa expires, while at immigration for extension

Malone · Post by **Malone** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:14 pm

hello,
like the title says, i am currently waiting for a work permit, and after that to extend my visa at immigration.
thing is, until all that's done, my visa is more than likely expired.
so how much of a problem is that? do i have to pay overstay?

If your Visa Extension of Stay is not received by the DoI Visa Office by the date your current Visa/EOS's expiry date, then you will accrue $10 per day in overstay fines which will need to be paid at the time you submit your EOS application.

thanks for the quick response.
so i would have to pay for the days I'm late for drop off at DoI, but not for the days of processing time to get extension approved, right?

Correct, once your passport and EOS application are received by the DoI Visa Office you stop accruing overstay days.

I'm guessing you mean that you are currently on the EP EOS and that you are waiting for your work permit to be processed, at which time you will be able to convert into EB.

If I were you I would just consider doing a border run and getting another ordinary visa. Its a fun trip anyway.

Do you have a clear timeline on when your work permit will be done?

Can I ask, are you handling application for your WP yourself or is your employer doing it? And in either case was the application made using the online portal or another way? I've been having a discussion with our HR lady on the proper way of doing it.
I'm sure that somewhere else on here it was mentioned that as long as you had a receipt for the WP application that would suffice for the Visa application. Otherwise it's a bit of a pain for anyone whose Visa expires early each year.

@Bluenose Yes, proof (ie. Receipt) is sufficient for EOS application
