Morning, I am currently on extension of stay based on expat children studying here. My next renewal is in June, as I am turning 50 in April I am considering switching to retirement, can you help to understand if it’s possible without leaving the country and what are the criterias. Thanks. Reason for doing this is that one of my children will be finishing school next year (2022) therefore will have to do it in any case next year. Thanks.
