Hi all, a friend asked me and I don't know the answer, she has an extension to a VOA that says 'STAY PERMIT EXPIRY 08/05/2026'.
The question is, does that mean leave by the end of the 8th of May (which I guess is the case), or by the end of 7th May (which I guess could be argued too) ?
There's nothing else on the permit to say what exactly the date means, if the expiry happens the moment it becomes the 8th, or at the end of that day.
Safer to leave on the 7th but it seems the flights on the 8th are generally cheaper, so it makes more of a difference than just losing a day here.
[Edit] She did the extension the hardcore non-agent way so can't ask them, and can't find anything online one way or the other. I guess I could ask the one I used to use but it's been a while, so I hoped somebody here had come across the question before.
