ORIGINAL POSTERHappy to have just completed my first 12 month retirement visa extension and multi re-entry permit on the first visit.
A little help from Gemini and Chatgpt in getting checklists and samples of completed forms but managed it without any extra assistance.
I was a bit nervous but preparation paid off.
