The old man has finally decided he wants to stay on with us for another few months so we’ve sent in the applications for a visa extension.
The odd thing about this is that the visa requires a medical to establish if he and my mum are ‘fit to travel’. What’s odd? Well if they are determined to *not* be fit to travel… then they have to leave the country. Converselt… if they *are* fit to travel… they can stay!
This piece of bureaucratic insanity would be funny if it didn’t mean they’d be sent home instead of being allowed to remain here in peace.
I suppose it means that if they became ill they might be told they were too ‘fit to travel’ to leave the country and would have to wait until they were ‘unfit to travel’ before they could leave… nice! 😀
