Does this sentence below sound natural? If not, would you correct the sentence? If you can't receive a visa during your stay with your current visa, you must leave our country by the expiration date of your current visa.

I’m not sure that we’d say receive, perhaps we’d use ‘get.’ If you can’t get a visa during your stay in our country then you must leave/have left by the expiration date on your current visa. Something like this.

The phrase "can't receive" doesn't sound quite natural. A suggested alternative: "If you don't receive (an updated/a new) visa...". Another alternative: "If you can't get (an updated/a new) visa...". The latter suggestion is slightly less formal, and it may be more specifically idiomatic to American English, but I think in American English the second example is what most people would say. The rest of it sounds natural.

I agree with Joshua. We would say "get". Good luck!
