Getting my residency Its not as easy as we thought

Sarah is still working towards getting her temporary residency as the spouse of a Salvadorian, but its not as easy as the couple first thought it would be.

[@xiomipalacios5391]

Sorry you guys went through this headache. President Bukele had a conversation with his Ministros about all those issues at different agencies, but I guess this video needs to get to him so the agencies get more organized and their employees get better training to get things done.

[@BraveNewPath]

@@xiomipalacios5391 yes hopefully the word gets back to him 😉

[@gloval5187]

@@BraveNewPathI sure hope it does. That is one thing that would really hold me from living there full time. The bureaucracy is so so bad. Everything is so inefficient regarding simple things

[@Lion20834]

It's all about money, like anywhere else, in this world. The government workers, made the things harder, to make sure, all foreigners that are thinking to become legal residents, don't see the process, so easy, it's not to frustate, people, but to inflict disappointed and not to go through the process. That's all.

My wife speaks very little Spanish. She is going to need the assistance of an interpreter .I really appreciate you guys . Great content... it is going to be frustrating.. thank you

I really feel for you guys. The most important advice you gave us is to do the registring before moving. I've already done that. Please keep us posted. Your videos are helping us. Thank you.

[@INVAZOR33]

It made me remember when I did back office work for visa applications, I guess El salvador is pretty up there in bureaucracy.

[@mariamalena9572]

There's so much to improve in the processes, it seems There's no clear instructions in how to do things. I feel the frustration, its always been like that... hopefully things improve with the creation of new laws and technology. Thanks for sharing your ordeal of getting legalized! Wish you the best!!❤

[@MariFer2660]

Hello and welcome to my beautiful country. 🤗🤗🤗 Sorry for the delay in welcoming you 😅 I agree with some comments here and yes in a lot of countries it is difficult to process residency. I remember when we started the procedures here in USA it was not easy for us and you even have to learn EVERYTHING about the country to pass an exam. It's a nightmare to be afraid of not passing that exam😬 but in the end it's understandable, is their rules. Please don't be disappointed or frustrated with the process, it may change at some point, but for now continue with every needed step and God willing, very soon you and your family will be celebrating... remember time flies 😊 Take care! 🕊🙏🕊

[@BraveNewPath]

[@hablemosbibliaconpastorant4895]

I understand the frustration. They are not up to date technologically speaking. Address this to the president in his page

[@julianarosario2424]

Honestly, we're in alberta canada. The run around when it comes to government affairs is the same thing. When you said they dont answer , its the same thing here. Here in our "first world" country, the run around is real too Also, nobody works through lunch here either, lol

[@julianarosario2424]

My sister is doing our kids passport before we go. For me , its going to be hard. Thanks for the vodeo. I learned a lot . Looks like a lot of red tape Nice that you did this video for us who arent there yet

[@Visstnok]

Thanks for documenting all this! I'm gathering all the papers I hope to need before going to El Salvador. No way I'm going back to Norway for anything - I'd rather jump into a volcano. Hope you can make an ultimate list when you're done with the process (fingers crossed everything works out soon). Even the Freedom Passport ($1M) application is unnecessarily convoluted. It asks for a passport that's notarized. You'd think passports would be inherently verifiable, right? They never ask you for muh notarization or apostille at the airport... Bukele still has a lot to do. It's not like there's any handouts for foreigners, so it shouldn't have to be complicated. The only way to get by is to provide value to others. The alternative is of course to get by from crime, but then they can easily throw you in prison. Hopefully it's the first and last time I'll ever have to move to another country.

Lo siento mucho así es en El Salvador

[@mariopereira652]

Hard to believe but El Salvador residence and citizenship is not as easy as most people think it is , it has been a while since was change to be more easy for people to stay legal and bureaucracy still an issue on almost every government offices. My though is the current government is trying to change that . I hope you the best with your process.

[@BraveNewPath]

@@mariopereira652 good point! Thanks!

[@user-dy9ez9fs8j]

Your situation is different from a local Salvadorean. The information you need to get from the start you need to let anyone that will help you that is coming from Canada. All foreing paper work needs to be translated. But this is the case for anyone in a foreign country, paperwork needs to be translated and certified by the country you live in. Total different countries different ways.

[@user-dy9ez9fs8j]

It is the same here in the United States when you get your immigration papers. Finger prints. Photos. Forms to fill out and to translate foreing documents

[@user-dy9ez9fs8j]

Most people will have their documents done ahead of time before going anywhere.

All paperwork in el salvador is disgusting. Am salvadorean and I know there no one's helps is so frustrating

Only in El Salvador, it takes a whole day of going around to get paperwork done. Good luck guys, it's only once that you'll have to go through. Question, wouldn't you be able to do most of your birth certificate paperwork and stuff through the Canadian embassy?

Doing all that process. Make sure to always take the original and a copy. It is frustrated and confused. In order for you to have your residency. Make sure you both have your birth certificate and marriage license. As well as his Dewey. I'm sure you have done that already.

I do not like the way your husband speaks with caused words. I am a salvadorena living in the United States and finding out how to do things ahead of time is necessary in every country before you decide to go to their offices. If you want to avoid going from place to place.

@@user-dy9ez9fs8j yes Will has a little attitude for sure, just like most Salvadorians I know. That's just who he is and I am who I am. We try to share with others our experience but also share who we are without censoring too much. Sorry about that. Yeah, it's very difficult to find out things beforehand because our calls and emails usually don't get answered

Your husband is not helpful. He speaks fluent Spanish. He should find out what you need to do ahead of time. He seems disconnected and angry. Not helpful at all. Sorry that no one has giving you the right information from the start.

@@user-dy9ez9fs8j we do call places and if we're lucky someone answers and he can speak to them. The problem is that we rarely get our calls or emails answered. The only way to get the answers is to physically go into the location. Will's face just always looks like that lol. I think it's because he's lived a pretty tough life.
