7-Day Extension: Available for 15-day Visa on Arrival holders, usually for medical emergencies.
Non-Immigrant Visa Extensions: For holders of B, O, or ED visas, allowing extensions up to 12 months, each with specific requirements.

TM.7 Form (for extension application)
Passport (original + signed copies)
Current visa and entry stamp
TM.6 departure card (if applicable)
