Kenny and Anne are in Mexico City. They flew from Puerto Vallarta this morning in order to apply for a long term visa for the French Polynesian Islands. In order to get the visa, they must both appear in person at the French Embassy in Mexico City. And they must present all their documents. They have a folder full of documents, including multiple copies of what is required. It is unbelievable what is required. All the documents are on line but Kenny and Anne were required to make multiple copies of everything that is requested in the application.
Their appointment is tomorrow at 9:00. They are told that it takes 5 minutes with the official before you submit the application. You also must leave the official with your passport. Kenny and Anne must leave a paid package with the official so the visa and the passport will be returned, in 3 to 7 weeks. Only then can they leave for the south seas. They would have liked to leave earlier but they were unable to get an appointment earlier. So now the process is underway. And they are pleased.
After the appointment, they will enjoy Mexico City. And their flight back home here is late on Friday so they will be tourists Friday morning too. I will be pleased when they are home here and I am keen to hear all about Mexico City. But I can't believe that there must be a better, easier way to apply for the visa. I will report back.
