I've traveled all over isean and beyond, but only stay at hotels, no private residence but ours. TM 30 now pre covid. Immigration just transferred to new passport.

Almost 20 years ago went to report at local police station. Told we know who you are and are here again. Welcome back. Tell immigration next 90 day report. They do that form.

huh? So what is an OA?? ITS an annual. Are you saying it's not a year visa now??

I applied for a retirement visa in 2007 at the consulate in Los Angeles. Done extensions every year since. Your daughter will not be charged if overstay until 18. Ask at the embassy DC or consulate in many cities before you come. Much easier to have the annual visa in the passport before coming. That gives you about 8 months to prepare for extension

I think now on 17th extension.

I'd get the transfer done before doing extension or have everything except bank letter go do transfer ask about extension. Give them sufficient time.

well your tm30 is dead if you leave nation, ok if travel inside. Saw someone pay 5k as they didn't report. So go get milk eggs bread, do report all smiles free

If I leave and reenter, I always visit local immigration after return home and they put new 90 paper in passport. Have to report for TM 30 anyway

@Tod ********

mine wants that day only bank letter and update book. So in general drop by for 90 day and ask them to look my papers, copies photos what I need. Last time go get bank letter update book NOW come back. Done 1.5 hours including bank run.
