TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM.7 form requires you to specify the duration of your temporary stay, which can be filled in as 365 days depending on your situation. If you're applying for an extension based on retirement, that is a valid reason. Additionally, you should inquire about a multiple entry extension during your appointment at immigration when submitting your TM.7 form.
