We are so happy to announce that our residency process for 2015 was a great success. We walked out of the immigration office yesterday afternoon with our new "3-month temporary" cards in hand.
There was, however, one glitch. As the agent was finishing the data entry for our new card, she noticed that our address on this year's paperwork was different from the address they had on file. She asked when we moved and we told her it was the end of November. Oops! Evidently there is a rule that the immigration office must be notified of any change of address within 48 hours. Oops, again! As a result of not informing them, we had to pay a fine. The mistake cost us $35 each. Thankfully, we had enough cash to pay the $180 cost of residency renewal and the $70 cost of the fines.
All in all, the residency process cost for this year was $350. Nevertheless, between receiving our residency cards and having a team here, we had a great fifth anniversary.
