I can’t see DHs going for home leave next year either without it being a long and painful process. I guess we’ll all have to cross that bridge when the time comes.

Exactly! Actually I just remembered we deferred my helper's leave last contract as well. But she actually went to Macau for a couple of nights with friends and her visa was extended upon re-entry. She then went home closer to xmas to be with family.
She has no desire to go home anytime soon. She's too afraid. Will figure it out next summer.

So, here I am again applying for a visa extension for our Helper. She received 2 one year visas last year when we renewed her contract. Hasn't been able to go home and hence can't activate the second visa. Has anyone done this recently? How long was the extension? Or does she just go in and they activate the 2nd visa?

Just a quick update I applied for my Helper's extension of stay on Aug 17 and it was approved yesterday (14 working days). Was getting a bit worried as her visa expires next week. The email I received included the demand note with electronic payment instructions. The visa sticker will be mailed to us within 10 working days.
Would recommend applying as early as possible, think its 2 months before expiry.
