I need an unabridged marriage certificate from the SA Department of Home Affairs to prove to the Swiss authorities that I am indeed married to my husband and not some harlot who wants to make Switzerland my home by any means possible. I guess it happens. Thing is, it takes 8-12 weeks for said marriage certificate to be issued by Home Affairs. Then, once I have it in my sweaty paws, the Swiss uathorities insist that I submit it, in person, to their Pretoria office. Not here in Switzerland, oh no, only Pretoria will do.
The Swiss certainly can give the Chinese bureaucrats a run for their money.
