Let X=(Xt, t≥ 0) be a self-similar Markov process taking values in ℝ such that the state 0 is a trap. In this paper, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a self-similar recurrent extension of X that leaves 0 continuously. The condition is expressed in terms of the associated Markov additive process via the Lamperti-Kiu representation. Our results extend those of Fitzsimmons (2006) and Rivero (2005, 2007) where the existence and uniqueness of a recurrent extension for positive self similar Markov processes were treated. In particular, we describe the recurrent extension of a stable Lévy process which to the best of our knowledge has not been studied before.
