What is a Visa Run?
So many of us know people that have gone to serve where the
need is great but we may not be aware of some of the obligations that go along
with that responsibility. Visa Runs can be a big part of a need greater’s life.
What is a Visa Run you may ask..well..when you travel abroad you need a
passport and a visa. The Visa will be for the individual country you plan to
travel to…Even though you may have gotten a year long Visa every two or three
months you are expected to leave the country to get your Visa stamped. This Run
incurs fees and cost that a person may not have figured into their budget.
First of all, the leaving the country is only symbolic
really you merely need to walk out and turn around and come back in. Some
people use this as a time to visit another country all that depends on your
personal budget. You will have to plan travel expenses to a border that will
accept your countries Visa. Then the fees of the entering and leaving another
country however, the fees are not massive but when you are counting your
pennies so that you can remain in your assignment it may seem massive.
Jehovah helps us all when we step out there to serve him
with the proper motive however if you know a need greater you will be a little
more informed of their situation and this information may provide you with a
way to be of assistance if you are able.
It may sound like a lot of fun and yes it can be but it’s
also a little nerve wrecking because laws change and regulation change and a
person never knows what they may have to face. It really deepens your love for
Jehovah and draws you closer because you may feel vulnerable in a way that you’ve
never experienced before.
