emilymat Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I would be grateful if anyone can clarify this situation,as I've had two conflicting bits of advice. My retirement visa expires in early October and I know I can renew early (late Sept). Unfortunately I need to return to the UK on 30th September for an emergency issue . I may be away for several weeks, My question is: If I obtain a re-entry permit at the early time I renew my retirement visa, does the re-entry permit 'flip over' to the new date in 2017 of my retirment extension, or, would the permit expire on the actual date of my renewal in 2016.? As I said, I've had two conflicting views and would welcome a response from anyone who might have done this. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 a fresh re-entry permit is obtained after you obtain a fresh yearly extension, and the expiry date of the re-entry permit is matched to the expiry date of the extension 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The new re-entry permit you can get after you apply for your new extension will be valid until that extension ends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You apply for the re-entry permit as soon as the new extension of stay has been granted. That way the re-entry permit will be valid for the term of the new extension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
