DrJack54 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) If you apply for extension it will be granted with expiry Sept 2023. You should obtain a pp renewal now. BTW you have an extension of stay not a visa. Edited October 4, 2022 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit rogue to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
