I'm a UK citizen, which means that I can stay in France for as long as I want without a visa. There is one small problem... I was an idiot and waited to get my passport until the last minute. Essentially, if I want to stay, I have to get my passport before November 21st, otherwise I have to come home.
Luckily for me, the British Consulate is literally on the street next to us, so it wasn't a big deal to go and hand in my passport application. It was easy... too easy...
Thinking that I could relax, knowing that my passport would soon be coming, was stupid on my part. I got an email yesterday saying that I needed a different kind of birth certificate than the one I gave them. The problem is I ONLY HAVE 1 TYPE OF BIRTH CERTIFICATE... I went to the consulate, thinking that they could help me figure this issue out. No, no they can't. I have to call the UK, get them to help me sort it out if I have any chance whatsoever of staying... ugh.
So the epic quest continues... I'll keep you all updated as to what is going on... but let's hope the British are in a good mood tomorrow...
Stay Lovely,
Liz
I am so glad you are enjoying your 1st big adventure of a lifetime of adventures. Paris is truly beautiful, I want to see a picture of you at the very top of the Eiffel Tower, I have one of me (very scary but beautiful experience). Hope all works out with the British Consulate maybe you could offer them some tea... take care looking forward to more adventures.
