retirement visa

[docspinoff]

if i renew my retirement visa (extension of stay)before old one runs out does it run from new date.?

my 90 day reporting will be on 14th Jan 2017 .  my retirement 1 year visa (extension of stay) will be do on 20th Jan 2017 . would i still have to do a 90 day report on the 14th Jan or could i just renew my visa (extension of stay) early say on 12th Jan.?  if i do renew early on the 12th Jan would the visa (extension of stay)run from  from the 12th Jan for 1 year ? or would it still run from 20th Jan for one year ?

It seem you have an extension of stay not a visa.

Your new extension starts from the date the current one ends.

You can apply for your extension up to 30 days early and your 90 day report up to 15 days early.

Can you clarify what seems a lot of confusion on the statement regarding the ten year visa?

I cannot explain it until more info comes out. It appears to be a new option for retires that can qualify for it. I don't think it is meant to replace applying for extensions at immigration.
