Do not arrive and do not stay in the country without properly authorized documentation.

Again, this is good advice. An ex-colleague of mine, who recently moved to another province for the start of this semester, was telling me the other day that his FAO was bemoaning the fact that the local PSB had been completely re-staffed.

That's right.....all the previous PSB employees had been re-deployed elsewhere and a complete new 'crew' had been brought in. Therefore, any PSB contacts that the locals may have had were simply not there anymore!

I doubt this is the only PSB office to be affected and no-one seems to know why the staff were all changed. However, it's a sign that your seemingly well-meaning FAO may end up eating his/her empty promises.
