I have a retirement visa. My next renewal date is October 2. How early or late can I renew? TIA
Answer summary
You can typically renew your retirement visa up to 45 days before its expiration date. Some offices may allow a renewal up to 30 days in advance. It's crucial to avoid applying late to prevent any fines. In case your visa expires on a weekend, you may apply the following Monday without incurring an overstay fine, as it would be waived due to the holiday. Nevertheless, it is advisable to renew as early as possible.

Seeing as your actual stamp expires on a weelend (Oct 2nd is a Saturday) you could "in theory" show up on Monday the 4th and apply for your next year extension without getting an overstay fine (but you would get a stamp that said overstay fine waived due to holiday/closure).
The real question is WHY would you wait and go that late 😉 If you meet the requirements now, get after it.
