Certificate of Eligibility






Our "Certificates of Eligibility" arrived on Wednesday, and I went to pick it up today. Actually, I went on Wednesday but they weren't expecting me so soon, but that's by-the-by. It's quite a pretty document, and I can recognise some of the kanji now, thanks to the aforementioned book I bought.

The certificate doesn't let me get into Japan however: I now need to go to the Japanese embassy in London to get my visa. Supposedly this can cost between £6 and £20 depending on citzenship, whatever that means. Hopefully, it'll be more towards the lesser value! And I need another bloody passport photo.

It is wonderful to get official approval, eh? Must be that need of us all to "fit in" or something. I felt really chuffed when I finally got the Aussie Residency stamp in my passport ... only three hours before we had to head to the airport and shove off on a plane to Bangkok and then Abu D! I was bouyed so much that it make the flight and departure from the family easier in some way.
