Visitor Visa 6 month rule?

[palaremzi]

My mom was going to visit us back in Nov. She got her tourist visa for 6 months, but things did not go as planned, she broke her leg, and only now it's healed. She's planning to come at the end of February, and her intention was to stay 3 months. the problem is her visa expires April 04, 2010.

My question is this: Is she allowed to stay 6 months after the days SHE ENTERS the country, or is she allowed to stay 6 months after the day visa was issued. If the former is correct, she can stay with us 3 months. Otherwise she has to leave after only 1 month.

I need to buy plane tickets according to this.

Any help appreciated.

what does the expiry date on the visa say?

The visitor must return on/before the expiry date of the visa.

Please don't make multiple posts on the same topic.
