Unlike Uganda where we were last year, you can not get a visa at the airport upon arrival. We must earlier visit to the consulate, and there before you go all pozałatwiać. Except that in our case the nearest consulate is located in. .. Berlin. Strange thing is, the more that a visa is a de facto character entry fee, not a procedure to verify whether a person is welcome in Ghana or not.
So in November M contacted the honorary consul in Warsaw (unfortunately it does not seem visas) to determine what and how. You have many and few, ie four photographs, four completed applications (after which up to four?), A ticket to Berlin (78 euro), 50 euros for a visa and 7 days of waiting for this release arcyważnego document:)
Thus, using the occasion of a business trip to Berlin, K and M went to the Embassy of Ghana in Berlin, located in the eastern part of town in the district of Pankow. We do not know how it happened, but we read on the page that is open from 10 to 15, so (as we do) we got there around 14 (and later on we read that, 1910-1915 is a general working hours, and the visas are dealt with only on 10 to 13). Of course, on the spot there was no one, nice Lady who looked after the cleaning of the place told us to elevate your legs up (because it interfered with mopowaniu). After watching decor (Orion Television, prod. NRD - now that's unique), and waiting not know what (anyone outside of us was there), took us to Mrs. konsulka.
Like everything had already been prepared, but in place, it turned out that the proposal outside No ticket (on what that number - we do not know to this day), it is essential to provide the accommodation (and preferably two) in Ghana. If you omit this information - with the visa thread. Well, yes, but how we have to know where we live, when the idea of \u200b\u200bour trip is to decide about everything on the spot? Finally the telephone helped to M, who found the net first better hostel (As he later reported the not the first best, only the first whose name was easy to write). Of course, when submitting the documents it appeared that M had forgotten her passport (it is not especially weird, considering that during a previous expedition M forgotten books of vaccination, without which there is no entry, but after negotiations somehow managed to avoid the check.)
Therefore, applications for visas by K & R, and M had to choose again, in late December and January. IM gone. He went right after the asterisk, and he was in Berlin on 28 December, quickly directing your steps to the embassy. But it turned out that the embassy is closed on December 29, because the national holiday of Ghana. December 30 is also closed for the same reason. Closed Dec. 31 because New Year's Eve. 1 and 2 January - you know, the weekend, so it closed. Closed again on January 3 - National holiday in Ghana. Thus, when it finally was opened on January 4 - remained only the visa in express mode (ie, for 70 Euros). The result - the photograph.
So share visa completed.
