getting an extension would be easy?
barcann | Wed, 2007-10-24 18:39
easy? in SXM? I think not. Obtaining anything in SXM is never easy. It is complicated and burdensome and can make you crazy.
We have a lot of people..mostly Americans I think.. ..who own homes here and who live here for about 6 months out of the year.
Back in the day, they could just go to the Immigration Office ( Remember the old one on Back Street?) and ask for a 3 month extension. Piece of cake!
They were welcomed with open arms.
I realize the world has changed but I also think SXM is deliberately trying to make thing harder for foreigners for no reason.
They are trying to make it harder for all of us actually to get anything done.
The bureaucracy just gets more and more cumbersome.....in all departments.
