Summary: Let \(X=(X_t)_{t\leq 0}\) be a self-similar Markov process with values in the nonnegative half-line, such that the state 0 is a trap. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a self-similar recurrent extension of \(X\) that leaves 0 continuously. This condition is expressed in terms of the Lévy process associated with \(X\) by the Lamperti transformation.
