Visa

My Kenya visa expires in six days. George and I are working on ways to extend it. We want to get a resident card for me since I am now married to George. Once I have that, visas won’t be an issue. For now, we have to get my three month visa extended. Tomorrow George and I are going to the immigration office in Kisumu before our bus leaves for Tanzania. We are hoping they will be able to extend my visa and start the application for my resident card. Kenya is known for having a corrupt government. Going through the correct channels can take months or years. Because of this, officials will demand money (a bribe) to get things done. We are not willing to do that. We planned on having all week to take care of this, but our emergency trip to Tanzania has cut our time short. Today was a holiday which means government offices were closed. That leaves us with tomorrow morning only. If I don’t get my visa issues resolved tomorrow, I may have problems at the boarder when we return from Tanzania. Please pray we meet up with an understanding immigration officer who is nice and willing to help us do things the right way.
