David Emigration Office
Nov 21st, 2005 by Don Ray
I finally remembered today that I had been to the Panama Immigration Office in David and requested a new pensionado card. I did this back in June or July. The fellow there had said he would check with Panama and get one. He said he would call me when he had it.
Since I didn’t put it in my permanent memory (Palm Pilot) I forgot all about it. For some reason, over the weekend I remembered I had a pending task that I had not completed. I went by the Emigration office today to check on the progress and I found out that they were waiting for me to give them a written statement requesting a duplicate pensionado card.
The lesson here is that nothing gets done if you don’t keep an eye on it. If someone says they will call you, it will happen 1% of the time. If the number you leave is a cell-phone number, the percentage is reduced.
If you need to find the Emigration office, it is located on Calle C Sur, which is a one-way street. It is just before the intersection of the street that runs by the Palacio Municipal. This is also a place you will have to go if you are like me. Every once in a while I forget to put the parking card on your window and receive a parking ticket and my 10 cent parking just became $1.10 after I pay the fine.
Oh before I forget, Calle C Sur is a street that requires caution when you drive on it. For some reason people forget it is a one-way street and there seems to be many accidents on this street. I had a cab driver call it Calle de muertos (Street of the dead). Hmmm, I wonder when the movie will come out.
Mr. Dean this is Yari Mendez I would like to know if you can do a favor to me. I need the phone # or the website from The Palacio Municipal de David. I was traing to search via internet but I couldn’t find anything and I need some information from them. Please if you can help me I’ll appreciate it. Thank you sir.
