Retirement - Extension to stay for 1 year and the Multiple Exit/Re-entry permit.

FOR INFO AND COMMENTS

I was given a Retirement extension to stay last year which took me up to 25th June 2018.

I also was given a multiple exit/re-entry with went up to 25th June 2018.

.

Then this year (in early June) I was given a new Retirement Extension to stay dated up to 25th June 2019.

.

I then went to Dubai June 19th 2018 and returned June 20th .

Immigration at the airport stamped me in with a note that I could stay until June 25th 2018!

.

I went to my local immigration to ask what was going on.

.

They told me that the multiple exit/re-entry permit was for my previous Retirement extension of stay (ending June 25th 2018) and that because I did not have a new multiple exit/re-entry that my new Retirement extension had to be cancelled!

HORRORS!

After almost 90 minutes they then said because I had returned before June 25th 2018 that it would be OK.

.

I then applied for a new Multiple exit/re-entry permit and when I got my passport back I had a new 90 day report notification in it!.
