Visa Renewal

Applying to extend my residence visa ranks as a bad day in Egypt. From standing in lines, to standing in wrong lines, visiting three offices, and elbowing to retain my place in line, I got the impression that far more people and documents enter than can ever hope to leave. People say if each person entering the building was fined one pound, we could pay off Egypt's national debt within the year.
