9537: Research visas

Yeah you can do it all yourself, if you speak French or Creole and have
lots
of patience and a good attitude and a vehicle to get yourself around. I
did
my own stuff myself and it only took about three or four hours. A friend
shuttled me around P-au-P and waited in the car while I went in and out of
offices and got sent from one to another. But I was very persistent and
spoke
French and Creole. I had a strong hunch that I was very, very lucky in all
my
transactions with various government agencies (getting car insurance
etc.
too). Often I thanked and congratulated people on how well they had been
operating things since Aristide's return (and I meant it, too). I never
had
to pay a bribe, either. Of course that was in 1996. --nancy laleau
