A friend of mine is renewing his residency...

He received his first residency in Oct, 2012.
" " " Second Nov 2013.
" " " Third Dec 2014
" " " Forth Dec 2015

So he's ready to renew again, this will be his 5th time. (Dec 2016).

His lawyer says this is the last time he needs to renew for 12 months.

in Dec 2017 he can renew for a longer time period.

Is this correct, I thought after you renewed four times you could do the extended period of residency.

Many thanks in advance.

I just posted a similar question in Legal. *Mod might want to combine these. *Although, it looks like I have a different kind of residency (Investment Residency), so the answer might be different. *Maybe better to keep separate. *Your "friend" has regular type of residency, not Investment Residency?

I tried to find on Migracion site, too. *I would read in Spanish or do translation, if someone has a link.

You have only renewed three times(?).

Yep, that's right. I got my original temporary residency in December 2011 and this is the year I get to apply for permanent residency so your friend has one more year...sorry!
