Customs and my van in Bolivia!
Oops, I screwed up. Entered in Copacabana, asked for 90 days, got 30. Everyone says, if you overextend your visa, no worries, they just ask for a dollar a day if you're late. Went to Immigration, got my 90 days, didn't have to pay anything. Went to Aduana, and they say I have to go to this customs office near the airport, with a letter pleading guilty, copies of paperwork, leave it there a few days before getting the verdict. Then presumably return to Aduana and get the 90 days for the van.
Obviously, I don't want to do this. And wouldn't bother if it wasn't for having to exit the country.... I was seven months late in Costa Rica, and happily paid $200 bribe getting out. But this was an honest mistake.
Hmm. It's looking like I have to do this damn paperwork, huh???
Actually, it's not the paperwork so much, it's that the customs place is MILES away, all the way through town etc....
