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!
