6 month multiple exit/entry visa's - Boring I know! by Tarkus

Visa validity by SeymourSunshine
I aim to arrive in Libya soon after Eid al-Fitr which is about 10 to 13th Sept. How long in advance of travel should I get my business visa from London? I've tried getting information directly from the embassy, but their phone number is inoperative.
About multiple business visas, the date on mine says 15/7/2010 until 15/10/2010( which is 3 months) but states 60 days in another section. What if I take a 4 day holiday out of the country on 7/9/2010 (before 60 days are over) , will I be able to ... Read More
