I would appreciate advice from members on the following problem.

On 28 September 2010 my wife and I got a one year extension of stay to our O visas based on retirement, showing pension/bank account details. The visa stamp in each passport permits stay to 8 October 2011. As the time for our 90 day notification of residence is approaching I checked the date shown on the notice which the immigration officer clipped to our departure cards in the passports and found that in mine the report date is shown as 27 December 2010, but my wife's is shown as 27 October 2010 - long since past! Am I missing something here - is this a simple error? Her stamp clearly states that reporting is every 90 days but the notice gives her only 30 days. OK we should have checked before leaving immigration but didn't and it won't happen again!

Also since obtaining the visa stamp three months ago we have changed address. By completing the TM.47 form for the notification indicating our present address is this sufficient or do we also need to complete a TM.28 change of address form?

Many thanks in anticipation.

If this was your first 1 year extension of stay then the 90 day reporting date should be 27 December 2010 for both you and your wife. The 27 October 2010 date is an error. Complete the TM.47 form and report to immigration the week before 27 December 2010.

Above is correct. The first extension is considered as your first 90 day report and you have to report every 90 days after that day. The stamps will show the error.

If you leave the country, that would reset the 90 day clock to 1, starting again on the day you enter the country.

You both obtained one year extensions of stay for retirement and each presented proof of 800k/65k income or did one of you obtain retirement and the other dependent extension of stay (which is more common)?

Not sure that it would matter but would be interesting to know and if one dependent the date each entered country.

We each obtained the visa for retirement with separate bank accounts and embassy letters showing proof of income of 800K

I'd like to add my voice to the OP's ref advice on change of address.  He wrote "Also since obtaining the visa stamp three months ago we have changed address. By completing the TM.47 form for the notification indicating our present address is this sufficient or do we also need to complete a TM.28 change of address form?"  

I will be staying in a different Chungwat when my next 90-days trip falls due.  It's a long way home.  Can I attend at the Immigration Office nearest my Summer Palace when I am in residence there and attend at the Immigration Office nearest my Winter Manor when I am there for the shootin' & the tailor?  I would expect some form filling but it should be possible.  Many thanks in advance of advice.
