RE: The One Thing Everyone in Your Family Should Have Right Now - Thumbs Up Thursday by A Panama Mama
Absolutely true @panamamama - be prepared!
In countries like where I live though, you must add patience to the list. Over October/November I visited our nearest office three times, fully prepared for renewing mine, only to be disappointed every time - system down!! All day long!! (And that after phoning before leaving home to make sure the system is up and running..eish!!) And then came the holiday season, when I did not think the prospects would be any better.
So that means three wasted days and 600km travelled that I did not budget for. Guess I must have a go at it again in a week or so!
Yikes - that is a lot of work for nothing! I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it works out the next time you try. It is true in every country that patience and extra money are necessary. We tried doing pictures at home for the kids, printed them and then were told they weren't white enough on the background, or were too white on the face, etc. Yes, basically they just want you to pay the fee at the passport place to have them take the pic.
Gotta visit my daughter - no PP, no visit!
Good luck with your project!
Thanks! Yes, if you need one to visit your daughter, you need to get one! :)
