On the tribulations of visa renewal

The process of extending a visa in the Sols will require the patience of a crocodile!!

Here it goes a bit like this:
- First, go door stopping the minister of Immigration in his office.
Easy, you just walk in the building, and wait! 15 hours may suffice...
- Before that, you, of course, collected a bunch of letter from
influent expats and locals to help push the process
- Once you waited long enough, they may come out with the paperwork
for the visa. That's after you told them that the current visa is
expiring tomorrow, so they have to do something about it.
-Don' t let your passport disappear into the darkness!!!!!
- Go queue at the Treasury for an hour. Pay the visa money (280). Pay
the police clearance too (90). Make sure you get the yellow and green
official receipts!
- Go to the police for clearance. Unfortunately, the guy has ran out
of forms and can't photocopy them until monday.
- Try to accelerate the process: grab the form and take it yourself to
the copy shop in town.
- Bad luck: there it a power cut in town, so no copy shop!!!
- Good idea: go back to the ministry of Immigration, they have copy
machines there and a generator. Queue up again. Interrupt cake eating
sessions if necessary to get the copy.
- Go back to the Police. Bad luck: it's friday and the guy was too
hot, so he went home!!
- Of course Doctors surgery also emptied out from their doctors during
the power cut, so no medical clearance. And anyway, it's friday and
the start of sabbath for other Seventh Day Adventist doctors.

....the saga will continue monday!!!!!º
