ORIGINAL POSTER
For the non-o retirement visa has anyone done a six month lease and been approved for the initial one year extension? Or is it not a good idea at all and just go for a one year lease from the start? Thanks!

That's up to each immigration office to decide. You need to go to your immigration office and ask them for their handout list of requirements.
