Hey mr policeman im really feeling rather ruff...i have to come tomorrow to pick up me one year marriage visa,but my legs keep wobbling and i know i wont be able to make it down..does anybody know what my options are if i know i cant get there ? Im worried but the quack has given me lots of good meds for the spazzier moments - they just dont make me very "up & at 'em".

Any advice from bods who have been in similar situations would be mucho appreciated.

Ta ever so,

W.

Get a note from the Doctor that is treating you, a few of the expats I know are infirm and a couple have even been hospitalised on the day they had an 'official appointment' .... it has worked for them, it should work for you.... but get something in writing.

//edit/ didn't mean to imply that you are infirm..... everybody has an off day once in a while.

Thanks..

Just not sure though that if i cant make it to immigration, how i get to my docs for a letter? Wont immigration say "you can get to your docs, you can get here"?

May there be someone at immigration i can call, re-arrange my visit & make sure i have my sick note when i do go back? Hope so...

Thanks again Thaddeus

Call immigration.... ask someone else to get the letter from the surgery..... wife, girlfriend?

Don't just front up a week late with an excuse. Keep them informed, they are people after all, and reasonable people by my experience if they know what is going on

Pick up as in after the 30 day under review? Suspect the wife would be allowed to do so but also believe a medical certificate will be required as well as a note from you. Why not call and find out?

Thanks guys..just thought there may be a protocol..after phoning and getting myself nowhere fast, decided to grin (barely) and bare it. As it was a successful pickup it wasn't all bad.

Cheers,

W.
