Now it's very clear why we keep insisting in calling ourselves ''expats'' , we don't want to be taken for an ''immigrant'', funny enough i looked for the expat office and all i found was the immigration office because that's what we are and will always be.
The question i ask myself is, what is the problem of having your immigration affairs in order? those paper exist for the sole reason that one day you might need to present them to the local authorities.
I believe that all this butt hurting is due to fact that for many years many ''expats'' abused the benefits of a country that had no control over its immigration and kept doing the uruguay runs, which we all know is not illegal but it was never the fundation of that law to be in place.
So, for those ''expats'' that laughed at the advantage they could take in a country that asked very little when it came to immigration processing, you, the '' above the law'' expats, you might wanna get your shit in order because maybe this time, this gov' might make you obey the law.
