Why Did My Non-B Visa Extension Get Shortened to 9 Months Instead of 12?

Question

Hi anyone any knowledge of this...colleague (Filipino) and myself (British) just went to immigration to renew our extension of stay for Non B Visa. Normally it's a 12 month as applied for on our paperwork. He gets 5 months extension until February 2019 I get a 9 months extension until May 2019... Previous years always got 12 months extension every time....these extension are with 90 day checks at local immigration not border bounces....anyone have idea why shortened time extension....

The poster and their Filipino colleague received shorter extensions for their Non-B Visas than usual, with the colleague getting 5 months and the poster 9 months instead of the expected 12 months. The likely reason for the shortened extensions is tied to the expiry date of their Krusupa teacher licences or waivers, which may necessitate applying for new extensions in the future. The comments further discuss the alignment of their contracts and semester end dates with the visa extensions.

[mention redacted]....it's the expiry date of the Krusupa teachers licence/waiver for my colleague and I that reduced the extension of stay....need to apply again for new extension of stay when the new Krusupa teachers licence/waiver is issued next year..

Out of interest the work permits were issued for 12 months from today until end of September 2019....

Yes our contracts are 12 months ....... they're renewed every year at our college.....so finish dates are 30th September 2019....

I would say go back to Immigration and ask why it is only 9 months, I would have asked directly when I check the stamps on returning my passport.
