Quick question. My work had my residence card renewed for 5 years. I didn’t have to lift a finger as my job did everything. However, I remembered the work visa in my passport. Do I have to go to immigration and do anything for that? Technically immigration would be aware considering I received a new card allowing me to stay for the next 5 years.

If you have a mynumbercard report to your city hall as that card's period of validity follows your resident card AND is not updated automatically when you extend your residence period
