Hello. On August 22, I went to immigration with all the required documents to apply for a retirement visa. They stapled a note in my passport stating *“In the process of changing visa type”* with a date stamp of August 22, 2025.
My current tourist visa expires on Sunday, September 14. I went back to immigration today to ask whether I needed an extension in the meantime. Both agents I spoke with told me it was fine to return on Monday, September 15, even though my visa expires the day before. One agent simply pointed to the note in my passport and said there was no problem and nothing further to do.
Even so, I left feeling uneasy about the situation. I would greatly appreciate any advice or clarification. Thank you.
