Birth Day Party Title

small anecdote about the Brazilian bureaucracy

In Germany, equipped with a visa that some costs, a police conduct certificate, two completed application forms with passport photographs, a letter from Terra Mirim, an insurance release my mother about aid, and a letter from our sending calls had been we are asked by the Brazilian Consulate in Munich, "register" our visa in Brazil by the police to leave. It looked like this:
- 2 hour bus ride to the police headquarters in Salvador: "Please go to the branch Airport
- 1.5 hours by bus to the airport:" Haha, you have to only 80 € to pay taxes, notarized copies of all required Passport required documents, submit two passport photos, bring the original of the application for the visa in Germany and left marks of all 10 fingers. Because they need a passport for foreigners. "
- 2 hour bus ride back to Terra Mirim
- contact the Brazilian Embassy in Germany: "We know nothing about it and you can not to be "
- contacting the German Honorary Consulate in Salvador," Everyone must do this here, this is quite normal. Every day without Auslaenderausweiss pay from 30 days stay punishment "
- 2 hours in the town to make passport photos
- 2 hour drive to the airport." No, no. Pay is not the police here, please go to the bank next door "
- 2 hour wait at the bank handling process: 5 minutes.
- 1 hour filling in another Portuguese form (to the police does not speak another language, much less is friendly), talk about the fact this is my one document as an original ("It is stamped on both sides. How should a copy of his "" Não é original !"...)
- receiving a piece of paper bemittleidenswerten
- 2.5 hours way back, because we took the bus to start accidentally in the wrong direction

balance
- 14 bus ~ 40 reais
- Taxes ~ 190 reais
- 15 hours waiting in buses, at bus stops or in the bank
- dead nerve
- A small scrap of paper (preliminary Auslaenderausweis), original is "in a few months" nachgelieferth
