Why did immigration give me a 30-day stamp instead of the full 1-year business visa immediately?
I went to immigration on Tuesday with all correct paperwork (and business lawyer with me) to get my 1 year business visa stamp, having just completed the 90 day stamp. They said they would take it under review, gave me a 30 day and said after that, they'd extend it to a year. Has something changed? Haven't heard of this happening to anyone else!

Totally common, there is no problem at all. IF you got the 30 day under consideration stamp you will go back on that date and they will stamp you in for 11 more months.

It happens at some offices, you just return on the day they stamped in your passport and get the remaining 11 months.
