20 yrs. ago I blew off a visa renewal when I was living there because I wasn't planning to work anymore before I went back to the US. But then I decided to go back to work during spring break at the Bayer factory, for which I really needed a new visa. When I went to the police station, they chewed me out for letting my visa lapse (I had been there about a year). The Beamte asked me when I planned to leave. I said Aug. 14th. So he made my new visa expire July 31 just to be a dick and make me have to come back, which, of course, I did not. I've been back 10x since then and never been hassled.
