I just got my 10-year perm residence visa on Monday after my 5-year per residence expired. I was there at the PSB for about 45-minutes and gone.

Hi there, Smitty, please divulge the damage,ie what it cost you for a 5-year one, and a 10-year one! I just wanna compare the cost of staying here on long L's. Then I can calculate what my financial loss would have been were I to be nailed workin without a Z, in either circumstance. No use being caught out after paying a sizeable sum for an RP! That money would, of course, be lost! Cheaper being caught out with a long L,maybe?
Been at it for more than a decade, so far so good!
