Funny you should ask, emmeff. Well, I called the Consulate, was finally able to reach someone in the visa department and he said I'd have to be out of the country by the expiration date. I was very surprised, so I then called another Consulate and an Embassy. I left a message with the visa department at the Embassy. No one called me back. This all happened in one day. So, I e-mailed the original Consulate, was verrrrrry specific in my questioning and this was the reply:
"Dear Sir," (hahahaha!!)
"You will have to travel between March 30, 2011 to June 02, 2011 and stay there for one month after the arrival date."
So, I guess you are right and I can arrive by June 2 and not have to extend the visa unless I want to stay over 30 days. I also want to add that in my e-mail to the Consulate I stated that my visa was granted March 3, so it seems the person responding got that wrong. Not very happy with their "professionalism", to say the least!
