Extending first year of OA visa

[Kenny202]

My OA visa is coming up to one year from my approval date. I plan to leave the kingdom next week and return which I believe extends/ renews my OA visa a further year.

Do I need to do anything before I leave (re entry permit) or anything when I get back or advise the official at customs I wish to renew the OA or does it happen automatically?

I believe my 90 day reporting cycle starts again from the day I return?

All you need to do is exit and re-enter before the 'enter before' date that's printed on the visa.

When you re-enter you'll automatically be given another 12 month stay.

Yes the 90 days resets from the date you re-enter.

Thanks for your help. So 90 days after I return and report I don't need to send my last report receipt? Everything starts anew same as when I first arrived?

And don't forget that the visa itself is expired after the enter before date, it is not renewed or extended. With your new 1 year permission to stay you will need a re-entry permit if you want to travel out/in during that time.

Your next report date will be the day you enter + 90 days inclusive. So you need to report 15 days before and up to 7 days after this date. You don't need to give them the old receipt. Yes, everything starts as if you first arrived.

Thank u all

Don't forget to check that they give you the correct permission to stay date.

For info, 90 day reporting is the day you enter plus 89 days.

I believe it's the day you enter plus 90 days. That means you will report 89 days after entering.

Day of entry is Day 1 + 89 = 90!
