Two days ago I made my reservations with American Airlines,  arriving 01/30/03 leaving 04/02/03 I was told that I needed a visa. When I said I had never needed a visa before she said that because I am staying more than 30 days I need a visa. IS THIS TRUE?  If so, where/how do I get one? Harriette

kmgentry is right, American Arlines is wrong; you can renew the 30 days periodat the immigration office up to 6 months (30 days at the time).
Live and let live

American may not be wrong at all. The fact that Scubaldy is buying a 90 day (approx) air ticket MAY require them to see the visa prior to isuing the ticket. One Solution: Buy the 30 day ticket & then change the return date (just dont show up for departure and re-book when you are inside the final 30 day window). The change fee of $75 or $100 MAY be negotiable - I've only paid it once in my life....hint - call in the change to Goldson, and if asked for credit card, tell them you'll pay upon arrival. Then you can negotitiate, if needed, with the counter agent. many times a smile and a sense of humor will get you out of it.

A little flirt (but even better - kind, friendly face & demeanor) can get you a long way...not only in getting the fee waived/reduced but better seating as well.
