What else is new...
And of course I was told that my visa can't be done in time, meaning can't be done before my old one expires...
So I have two choices-
1. Go to Hong Kong and get a 30 day one-IF they can get it over holiday-which will probably run me around 5-6k depending on travel expenses.
2. Stay here and go over and pay the penalty-500 a day, the visa expires on the 24th of Feb-which is solely dependent on when they will cut of the date of charging me A) when I submit the paperwork B) when I pick up my passport C) somewhere in between.
The company I'm working for already submitted everything but my passport, but I have no idea when the government reopens, if its right after the week of the 24th, then staying here is financially better. If I have to wait an extra week till early march, then the fees would be too much.
I'm trying to find out when the government starts back up, can anyone help me?
