Today I have to get my attendance records and some sort of "certificate" from the school. I'm a little nervous about tomorrow when I have to take all that paperwork to the Immigration, then I'll find out if they really think I'm a student and will let me stay an additional 60 days. Yep, that's the life of a foreigner, always worrying about his "papers" in the back of his head. If you stay longer than sixty days without permission they'll never let you back into the country again. My 60 days is up in a week or so, if I'm denied tomorrow it'll give me enough time to get an airplane ticket to somewhere else for a day, so I can get that silly little stamp in my passport. On the plus side of this, I'd get to go to another exotic Asian country, but I'll try to find one close and cheap as possible. Hong Kong, Phillipines... maybe I should look at a map. And in case you're wondering "didn't he get a student visa?" technically they don't have student visas in this country, first you get a "visitor visa" (60 days, extendable 2 times up to 180 days) then at 4 months you can apply for a resident visa which lasts a lot longer. So there's a chance that in a week or so I'll be writing about my experiences in a new country. Which could be fun. (edit 307) Permalink
