TLDR : Answer Summary

When renewing a visa extension based on retirement, an unused single re-entry permit remains valid until it is used, and it typically has the same validity period as the current visa extension. Therefore, it does not expire with the current extension but will be valid for use until the specified valid until date on the re-entry permit.

Yep, normally it's the same until-date of your extension of stay validity time.

You just need to look at the re-entry permit to get your answer

you'll see that it has a valid until date the same as your yearly extensions

All re-entry permits are only valid for the same time as the extension stamp they're issued on
