neverending story? lol

So, as it turns out the statement about my current address, nationality and civil status is rather complex.
The Dutch authorities told me they really need this statement or else I need to get a Portuguese document and have it translated.

So I called both the Dutch consulate in Funchal and the Dutch embassy in Lisbon. Now the Funchal consulate doesn't even speak Dutch and told me to go to local parish to get a Portuguese document. So that led to the more troublesome solution also mentioned by the Dutch authorities.

Thus I called the embassy in Lisbon again and after explaining the situation again the woman started ranting about how retarded this request is and that the person in The Hague doesn't know jack sh*t about anything lol.

 

Eventually she told me to forward the email from The Hague and to attach my passport scan and Portuguese document of my local registration. One of her colleagues is supposed to get back to me on Monday.

 

Fingers crossed.
