Since we don't have enough threads on renewing residence, I though let me start one.
My permanent residence needs to be renewed early july. I am leaving the country some days before that and coming back after the date of expiry. I can renew 45 days before expiry, but the place is packed all the time, so I would like to wait till when I come back. That's also what a lady in migration told me to do. However, I dont want them to take my residence card when leaving (I doubt it, since it won't have expired yet ) or entering again the country (which will make it difficult to renew it, if I can't show them the expired residence card).
Any thoughts?
