Last August when we went in to renew our visas, the regular lady was ill so this substitute foreign police officer took our applications. He immediately approved mine (I have a work visa now) but denied Ken's because Ken has a visitors visa. As this officer explained, "No one would be a visitor for two years in the Czech Republic. You must be doing something else." Obviously he did not know Ken very well. We tried to explain that Ken was a "pensioner" and didn't work and just went to museums, churches, drank coffee and drew pictures. That didn't make any sense to this officer. What followed was 6 months of trips to the police station, each time with more documentation etc. When we thought we finally had it all, we turned it in after our trip to the US. Imagine our surprise when we went to pick up the visa two weeks ago and learned that all of the rules had changed on January 1st and we now needed other papers and more stamps and seals and bells and whistles.
Last week, I am pleased to report, we finally met all of the requirements and Ken is now allowed to stay as the "spouse of an employed person",....at least until the next time we have to apply!
Like I said before,...everyday here is an adventure!
