Immigration

I was very, very impressed with the immigration service. Compared to some countries I've been to, which shall remain nameless as I expect to be visiting them again in the future, the attitude of the staff was wonderful. They were friendly, and quite incredibly helpful. They even took pity on my attempts to speak French.

There were no real issues - I was pointed in the right direction for the immigration center, and there were perhaps a dozen people waiting there, mostly in family groups. I was waiting for maybe half an hour. Then I was called over to finish off the paperwork.

It turns out that my last minute collection of bank statements wasn't needed, and I'd messed up one of the Goods Following forms (if you're using the B4a form, you need a B4 as a cover sheet - you don't list any of your items on the B4 form). Aside from that, it was a fairly smooth and practiced process, and it was definitely a lot less stressful than I'd feared.
