Now that was easy. Too easy in fact. All my worries were totally undue!
There were no issues at all, even when I asked for confirmation on all of the issues I was unsure about.
Now the weird part; how likely is it that when you walk into a public building of a country you haven't been in for over 10 years, that you meet a bureaucrat who as it turns out, have several friends in common with you!?
I'm not suggesting anything here, it went entirely after protocol, but that happenstance sure made me feel more at ease about my stay here.
