Seems like a good reason to get in touch with your home country's embassy/consulate...



Not if you're from Syria.


Why not? Syria does have an embassy in Cairo.


They don't care. Just to let you know how bad are we treated. As a Syrian, I should exchange 100 dollars to enter the country. Some people were stuck at the border with Lebanon when that bill was issued and a woman died waiting for someone to bring her the 100 dollars (or 200 because he also needs to go back). We pay 800 euros to get our 2 years of validity passports. A couple of weeks ago, I had to wait from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. to get the embassy in Berlin to attest my signature on the passport. I had to wait 4 hours to attest my papers at the totally empty embassy in Jakarta.


Same here my friend, they were literally whipping people for cutting the line on the Syrian embassy in Lebanon.


You realize there is currently one of the bloodiest civil wars of this century happening in syria? an embassy isn’t much worth in such a situation
