TLDR : Answer Summary

When renewing a visa extension based on retirement, a single re-entry permit remains valid until it is used, provided that its expiration date aligns with the validity of the current extension. Typically, re-entry permits are only valid until the same date as the extension stamp issued.

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
