Passport requested, I am Abroad! :O

[canadasoon2013]

Hi guys. I have an urgent question and hope you can give me some good advice.

I applied outland in Colombia and got my passport request last Friday. The problem is that right now I am in Germany and I am coming back to Bogotá (Colombia) until August 21st. Do you know if I can have problems if I send the passport until I come to Colombia? Sending it from here is kind of illegal. It can be done only in Bogota and the tickets as well as changing the date of them is really expensive due to the summer season. The email states that I have time until may 2014, but it states also that I should send it "as soon as possible". Should I wait until August? What if I have problems?

Please some advice. Thank you!

If it is illegal to send your passport directly (I only knew it was an issue for India, never heard there was an issue sending a passport in Columbia as well) then you should wait until August when you return - that's only 6 weeks away.

you won't have problems if you let the VO know about your issue. So reply to their email explaining that you're currently traveling, coming back in August, add a copy of your plane ticket to confirm that, and explain that you'll send your passport to the VO as soon as you're back in Colombia.
God luck,
Sweden

Hi Guys,

Thank you very much for your help. I sent yesterday a letter explaining my situation attaching my corresponding flight itineraty. There shouldn't be any problem.

Thanks a lot and I will let you know about what happens.

Take care!
