You are lucky that they have a 10 year :)<BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/>KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-17038497205918531812008-04-18T18:59:00.000+09:002008-04-18T18:59:00.000+09:00every 3 years for you? ouch. i guess i shouldn't h...every 3 years for you? ouch. i guess i shouldn't have complained too much about the french redtape while getting my "carte de sejour". it WAS a pain though!

I heard some scary stories about getting one from the States because they now need them for Mexico and Canada--talking months! Though if you had to spend months in the Islands, I don't think you would complain ;)<BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/>KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-45252696158352327902008-04-16T16:32:00.000+09:002008-04-16T16:32:00.000+09:00I recently had to renew my resident permit for Ita...I recently had to renew my resident permit for Italy - a lot of paperwork, but now I'm good for five years! The next thing up is my american passport. I wonder how long it takes to renew in the states? I'm thinking better to spend extended time in the islands and get it done there. The idea of dealing with any kind of paperwork here makes ME sigh! ;-)Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-51411442103009549032008-04-16T12:14:00.000+09:002008-04-16T12:14:00.000+09:00Thanks Jasmine, I hope everything will go well too...Thanks Jasmine, I hope everything will go well too :)<BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/>KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-12586186142436111932008-04-16T10:43:00.000+09:002008-04-16T10:43:00.000+09:00Sorry to read about the mountains of visa-related ...Sorry to read about the mountains of visa-related paperwork.
