Visas, Embassies & Border Crossings

For the Visa extension you need your passport and the exit-ticket. The procedure was very different for the people I met. I just went there, wrote my address on a paper, waited have an hour until my number was called and got the passport. They extended my visa exactly up to my departure date on my ticket. They did this to all others as well. I met one guy who first was waiting and then sent to a table in the back with a lot of hustle and talking, but he already stayed for 2 months and wanted one more month. It took him several hours until he had his visa. I think that my easy number was the normal one.
