Overview
The official eVisa platform includes a visa-extension workflow and its English content tells applicants that, to extend a visa, they should visit the immigration office or contact immigration@evisa.dj. The same content says the period of remaining validity of the visa must be more than or equal to 48 hours. Because the public eGov pages do not publish a full extension checklist, applicants should treat this as an official signpost and confirm the current extension form, fee and evidence with the immigration office or inside the eVisa account before relying on it.
