Okay-I'm not going to bore you any more with the gory details, other than to say I got the wrong visa and had to go through the whole unpleasant story again. The lovely C attempted to extort an extra R2000 from me ontop of the R2000 I had to pay for this, the correct visa.
I now do have the right Visa-an STR-which will enable me to work and live in Nigeria and will eventually be converted to a permanent residency visa.
Well, if it ever comes to that.
If this was any indication what it's going to be like, I'm certainly in for a rough ride. Lying and cheating has always offended my European sensibilities and this is something I will have to get used to. Oh boy...
Europe likes to pretend it's more grown up than that, but in reality it isn't. Millions for fighter jets vs. a couple hundred for a visa, but the system is the system everywhere you go.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm taking my tinfoil hat off now.
S.
You are soo right.
ReplyDeleteNo free lunch out there anywhere-we get what we pay for no matter where.
Sad, though...
