The visa and re-entry permit
Hard to believe it’s been three years since our previous visa renewal, but it has and our papers to re-up were turned in a few weeks back. Yesterday evening Tod handed me our passports newly plastered with self-adhesive, QR coded visa extensions. We’re good until 2009.
And then? Maybe an application for permanent residency.

Posted by: UltraBob on September 2, 2006 12:09 PMUnbelievable: Re-entry permits with the same length of validity as the visa! We could have saved so much time (and money) way back then when we had to get new re-entry permits every year.
