Exactly. That’s why I do the marriage thing and put 800k in the bank anyway. That will enable me to work and secure me in case something happens in the marriage.
Nope. The marriage extension still requires 90 day reporting. The main differences between marriage and retirement extension is that the amounts for marriage extension are half of the retirement extension and a marriage extension enables you to apply for a work permit whereas a retirement extension does not.
(I didn’t write you will actually get a work permit, but at least you can try…) 😉
