hgavin replied to your post: Also my residence is up for renewal

is this fee per permit? as in per person? so if you happened to be a family, let’s say of 4, would that mean you have to pay for 4 permits?

Yes, per person. Five years ago the same thing cost me 100 euros. The government thought increasing the fee was “sensible” so as to discourage people from remaining in the country.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
