How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

Validity is 12 months with a maximum presence of 180 days (with at least 50% gainful employment). If the worker previously held a short-term permit, a letter permit can only be granted at least six months after that permit expired and the person properly left.
