@Martin ********
yes.. they charged me too... they even charged me extra for a “private” cell... I noticed it was a privilege only when I asked to go to the toilets and saw the other big cell with a dozen of guys inside. That was just 4 hours as I was lucky enough to have an open return ticket with me... they even wanted to send me back to FRANCE!

Let me tell you something.

Same thing happened to me for Christmas...

Even worse...

Went to the PP embassy...

Interviewed by the officer.

Tourism visa granted as I explained and proved that I have kids at school there but couldn’t yet afford the guardian visa.

At the airport the immigration REFUSED my visa, put me in detention cell and sent me back to PP.

After a few weeks I could apply again for that guardian visa with more money on my bank account...

It’s ok now but it was my first time ever in a detention cell.

Will remember it forever.

All that to say... you can’t legally be a tourist for more than 6 months in a year... now I know.

Ok.. thanks... so I have to go there first hour the 26th ... I hope everything will be ok... but the hardest will be to get that letter from the school before Monday morning.
