The Ministry of Interior has announced the end of the automatic extension of all types of expiring or expired entry visa, effective June 7, 2026.
The Ministry clarifies that, starting from the aforementioned date, work will resume according to the approved procedures and guidelines for all types of entry visas, including the specified validity periods and fees for each type.
The Ministry urges all residents, visitors, and relevant parties to verify their legal status, comply with visa renewals, pay the prescribed fees within the specified periods, or leave the country upon the expiration of their visa validity, in order to avoid any legal violations or procedures resulting from exceeding the permitted duration of stay in the country.
The automatic extension was originally announced on March 3, 2026.
