Retirement extension

[Gandtee]

How early before expiration of retirement visa can application for extension be made?

[ubonjoe]

You can do it up to 30 days early or 45 days at some offices.

Thanks Ubonjoe. I want to kill two birds with one stone. 90 days and extension.

[mikebell]

If you do it early do you lose 30/45 days or is it counted as the due date?

No....you do not lose any time.

You lose no days by doing it early. The new extension will start from the day the current one expires.

I renewed mine in august which was due in September and they started it on the day I applied , I was robbed of 2 weeks ,,,,,,it was the first time I had to get OA related insurance so maybe that had something to do with it as they said the insurance had to start on the day I applied ,

I'm pretty certain the new extension is 90 days or 12 months from the date of extension. Whether or not that's what the law says is unclear to me.

I think Mike is wrong.

You are wrong

He is applying  for a extension based upon retirement that is valid for one year. The extension will start at the end of his current extension 

[arick]

The Canadian Embassy called me two days ago and are sending income letters out by post. No need to apply in person.

Well, lets agree to differ then shall we? having just obtained a new extension for less than 1 year. I've been wrong before but not this time, unless my reading skill has declined somewhat. Perhaps the custom is different for different offices; I am not so confident about it as you seem to be. Good luck.

The one year starting from the end or the current one you have is a standard procedure for immigration. If your are getting less than year then you must be dealing with a rogue office.

Must be dealing with a rogue office then I suppose. Anyway, I ansered the querents question according to my experience.

Sorry to butt in to this thread, but I'm doing my extension now and would like to know how long AFTER the expiration date can you apply, i.e. is there a grace period like for the 90-Day report?

If you apply after expiry date you will be fined 500/day. 

Also not recommend as you will be on overstay

The only reason you would not receive the 12 months from end of your current permission of stay is for things such as obtaining extension to a non O-A that requires insurance policy dated from day of application (or earlier). That yearly policy would mean stamped for 12 months from day you applied.

Or another is where passport expires in less than 12 months from current extension.

Otherwise it's 12 months from end of current extension and not 12 months from day of application. If it's someone's first extension it would be 12 months from day of application.

Thanks. I've said all I have to say on this. As far as I am concerned, the facts is the facts and that's all. Thanks for the reply though.

Ah, thanks - I'd forgotten about that, but was hoping for a grace period.

 

The reason I want to go close to the renewal date is for the Health Insurance timing. I usually go 3 or 4 weeks early, but the health insurance will start just before the expiration of the extension.

So if there was a problem and I couldn't go the day before the expiration expires, I was hoping I could go a bit later.

I hate having to do things on specific dates - you never know what might happen.

In Jomtien the new 12 month retirement extension has always started from the expiry date of the old extension, not from the date of application. That has been my experience for the past many years.

I renewed mine at CW last week 40 days before expiry date and the new day & month shown in my passport is kept the same,  1 year from expiry of last extension. 

My health insurance company had issued me with the Covid cover letter, but I wasn't asked and therefore didn't show it.

Please check the expiration of your passport, this would be the only situation I could think of as to why they would not give you a yearly extension of stay based on retirement from the last day of your previous visa expiration date.

Also if the visa is OA they may reduce it if your health insurance doesn't cover the full year.

EDIT: sorry just read @DrJack54 pretty much said the same thing ????

No grace period, you may or may not be fined by your local office, but overstays is a major issue with Immigration.

No of course not. I think perhaps I was confusing names. If so then apologies. Anyway, I think the usefulness of all this has expired. I don't think I'll be offering any more contributions on this forum. Good luck to everyone. Stay well.

Slightly off topic, but I did my 90 day report at Jomtien last week.  They put a stamp on my receipt to remind me my extension was due in May. (Actually they called it a visa).

A nice touch I thought.

So many of us are to be forgiven for referring to it as a visa. A rose is a rose by any other name.????
