Do we really need to renew permanent visa?

1 year ago
In another group I belong to, everyone is saying we now have to renew our permanent residency visa when it expires (before Migration will let you renew your Cedula). I came home from the States the end of May and Migration just accepted my Cedula and didn't say anything about my expired visa. I renewed my Cedula January this year, and they said I didn't need to renew the visa. People are saying when they came back in June Migration at the airport was telling them, and then Migration at the local office said yes, it was true.
If this is true, then there should be an option to renew them at the Cancilleria, right? They are going on how there is suppose to be a page on the Migration website which does not sound the least bit right to me, and of course no one can find it.
I'm not worried for myself, I have another 5 years:). But now I am curious if it's true.
Thanks to anyone who knows.
