Gonsalviz Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have recently gotten a new 1 year NON-O visa based on marriage but I want to convert to a retirement extension. How soon can I apply for the retirement extension? I also want to divorce ASAP. What is the best way to take care of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) If your current permission to stay is from a non 'O' visa entry you can apply for an extension of stay based on retirement within the last 30 (maybe 45) days of the current 90 day stay. If you have an extension of stay based on marriage it becomes void the day the divorce is finalised, and at that time you can apply for a new extension based on retirement.

Kind of makes for a quick movement doesn't it. Is there no leeway? Say a week or so either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a 1 year multiple entry visa or did you recently get a 1 year extension of stay at your local immigration office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elviajero Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 2 minutes ago, Gonsalviz said: Multiple entry. Then you can keep using the visa after you're divorced, and can enter as often as you want until the 'enter before' date printed on the visa. You can apply for an extension of stay base on retirement during the current or any future 90 day entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
