What approval/application sequence applies, how long is the status granted, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction is officially stated?

The D/AS visa is a long-stay visa granted to third-state nationals, upon request, for periods of 90 days, with one or multiple entries. The right of residence granted through the D-type visa can be extended by applying for an extension on the national territory; the extension is materialised through a residence permit issued by the Inspectorate General for Immigration. Applications for extension must be personally submitted at least 30 days before the expiry of the right of stay granted through the visa. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction for D/AS holders.
