I've heard (don't know how much truth there is in it) from 3 people that the above will be closed Tuesday thru Friday inclusive this coming week.

Does anyone have any reliable info on this, if it is at all true?

I need a Certificate of Residency this coming week, and my understanding is when applied for you need to collect it the following day. I'm applying for it in the morning, but if there's any truth in these rumours it would mean I couldn't collect it until next Monday.

Thanks in advance for any info provided.

You can get it on the same day as you apply, here are a few recent reports.

Thanks Mate, very helpful.

I'm still wondering if there's any truth in the closure this week though, even though it shouldn't really affect me.

Well I hope someone can confirm ASAP about the closure as I must be one of hundreds who are due at immigration this coming week.

When I applied 2 weeks ago I was told by a charming and very helpful Officer that it now takes 7 days to issue this document. So, no worries . Presumably the roof is leaking if they need to shut -up shop.

Your little source is wrong

They usually only close on public holidays and such-like. There are none of these next week according to my calendar.

So I wonder what reason they might have for closing, if indeed they do close?

Any updates on this post????? I am or I was going to renew my yearly visa tomorrow

"my yearly visa"

Immigrations offices don't renew visas, yearly or otherwise. Possibly an extension of stay?

For those of you planning to go there this week, why not phone and ask? I think this number is the correct one:

Tel:038-252751-4

Sorry!! I totally apologize for using the wrong terminology ie "My yearly visa" .

I will bow to your Superior intellect and knowledge in all matters regarding (renew visas, yearly or otherwise).

(not to be taken too seriously just a light hearted rely )

Wife just rang the number posted above..

Open all week..

Please anybody feel free to ring and confirm same.

Cheers..

Just to clear up the above, "rumours" that I received, and everyone's replies.

The immigration officer confirmed that the office is open tomorrow, and the certificate was issued within 20 minutes of my number being called.

Apologies for panicking anyone.

I assume suggesting that someone use the telephone to call the office and ask about rumored closings is yet another example of my "superior intellect," but using the correct terms on a forum meant to inform others about Immigrations procedures doesn't strike me as being especially intellectual. I guess it's all relative.

Please give it a rest!!! Try reading my original post again.

As this appears to have been an unfounded rumor I am going to close this thread.
