What is a residence entry permit? I will re-apply in September 2026 for another 90 day Non-O based on marriage. Just that this time, I have to return home to sort my house out unfortunately.

Thanks. So they stamp the date 90 days on from arrival, but if you decided to come home earlier then no big deal? I will be coming back after 58 days. so won't be extending it to a 12 month based on marriage. We will come back later next year to do that.
