My visa for Uganda has expired for ten days without me knowing it, until Mac had a look accidentally into my passport two days ago. I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire for the possibility of applying for a working permit here, but received nothing but a list of excessive requirements. I went there today with Madame Josephine in hope of having my visa extended at least for another three months, but was told in the beginning that the request was impossible. Madame Josephine plead for me hardly so the officer changed her attitude after writing down stealthily a long number on a draft paper which was immediately pushed away with her hands covering it at all time. She explained that the reason we had to pay for the extra 'fee' was that she had to, because my trivial issue, leave where she was sitting and go to another room to explain to another officer about my problem which might have serious consequences. In the end, without any other resorts, I accepted the payment for speeding up the process. And it worked! I had not even find a comfortable position to sit on a bench before she came back with my passport with a stamp and a sentence into saying my visa was prolonged.
I was delighted for quite a well afterward, but just wondered for a transit moment that how come the long and hard process which was explained with great effort and length was executed within such a short period?
I had my another lesson today-a fairly good one!
