Can a tourist visa organised by a hotel be extended?
By Catherineanne •
I've organised a tourist visa for a friend through a 5 star hotel. Unfortunately she is not from one the countries that can get a visaon arrival.
The visa says it is valid for 14 days. I'm planning to pay for her one night in the 5 star hotel and then she will come to stay with me.
Will I be able to extend her visa at the end of the 14 days?
I am beginning to hate this ridiculous visa system that seems to serve no purpose other than try to fill up white elephant hotels!
….. Be thankful that unlike many countries in this part of the world, this country still allows one to sneak in friends….
Answer to ur question is -YES, Hotel visa’s are renewable for a further period of 14 days. You will have to approach the hotel once agin for obtaning this extension.
One arrival, please ensure that ur girl friend is carrying a copy of the hotel booking and her credit card or currency/TC equivalent of USD 2000 in her hand to show it to Emigration counter, incase they ask.

Maybe you should try to inquire directly to the hotel you get her visa from.
Unfortunately lots of people comes here via visit visa and tourist visa and look for a job, that must be the reason they are limiting it nowadays.
