      The paper considers an irreducible, ergodic, discrete time Markov chain with finite state space initialized in stationary regime. It continues the investigation of the first time entrance of a given state. Under certain conditions, this time admits a representation in the form of a geometric sum of independent and identically distributed random variables. The main goal in this note is to consider the approximation of such time by a geometric sum.
