Terence and I took a cab to the airport instead of me driving this time. Six days from now I'll have to go back to send off my mother. These odd hours are damn annoying! I have to say that the cab option is a great one. Blitz taxi costs about $6 Canadian to the airport and back. For the driver to stay there up to one hour costs about $2.50 Canadian.
So as usual something unexpected had to happen at the airport and I'm writing about this here just to warn people.
Although they say the penalty for staying here after a visa expires is $3/day, there is also a $20 charge which is apparently the cost of putting the actual visa into your passport. OVIR (the visa office) in the airport claims the Yerevan branch does not charge the extra $20 fee, but for those who know how time consuming OVIR in Yerevan is, I think it might actually be less of a hassle just to pay the extra $20 at the airport.
Anyway, nothing beats the 10-year visa. (Just a suggestion for those who plan on coming here at least 4 times, more than 3 weeks each time, in the next 10 years.)
