The day finally arrived. After almost 3 years me and my 9 year old are going to visit family in canada.
Check in with WestJet fine, security fine, at immigration I knew I would have to pay 11,000 pesos exit fee. Go to pay and the girl says 16,000. She couldn't find the stamp for when I arrived July 2 2019 so she went to the previous of march the same year. I looked through my passport and couldn't find the stamp since my head was exploding. I paid.
Now was waiting for my daughters passport to get cleared, she's Dominican with Canadian passport. I have travelled many times with her and never been asked. The man says she needs a permission from the mother. I provide the custody agreement signed and sealed by notary. Nope not good, after the child has been in DR for more than 6 months I need a new permiso de viaje. I guess the custody paper is not even good for toilet paper. My little girl is bawling her eyes out and didn't stop for an hour.
He tells me that WestJet will change the flight in these circumstance. Several hours later after the exploding stopped I did find the correct stamp that the girl could not. So I overpaid by 5000 pesos. I will try and get that back when I give it another try next week. Fat chance on that.
I tried to change the fight but since I didn't buy direct from WestJet It gives no help. I can't get coherent answers from AI. So it will cost me 1050 Canadian to fly next week.
arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg
