¿Cuál es la diferencia entre I have a multi-year visa, so there was no need to apply for a new one. y I had a multi-year visa, so there was no need to apply for a new one ?Puedes dar oraciones como ejemplo.

The original sentence I have is "The ministry of Justice suspended all short-term visas regardless of validity, but long-term visas are exempt from suspension. I have a multi-year visa, so there was no need to apply for a new one".

I think it was supposed to be "had" because the writer is talking about her experience in the past.
(I also wonder why the writer used the present tense for "long-term visas are exempt from suspension.)

Could anyone help me with this please?

have a multi-year: present tense. You still have it.
had a multi-year: past tense, you no longer have it.
correct: "I have a multi-year visa, so there was no need to apply for a new one." Why is explained in that the person didn't have to re-apply for a new visa since theirs was still has a current date.
