I think it’s changing everywhere from what I’ve been reading, better to go to the immigration office with all the paperwork that is necessary or could be necessary. That way there won’t be a problem.
i’m not whining at all, I’m just saying that what I was told, and led to believe, was quite different from what happened at the immigration office, next time we’re just going to do a one year retirement, visa through a visa agency, and never set foot in an immigration office again
