Since I lost my Residence Permit and had only written copy (In Porthuguese) of 60 days valid visa I was in big trouble to reach Porto...
It started from Cochin airport (India) .. I was enquired by almost 10 police officers for more than 2 hours... They called the Dubai and frankfurt office to inform that I am travelling through these airports and asked them to take care of my case (Ha ha ha).. .. I showed all the documents to prove myself that I have lost the residence permit and have got temporary visa for short time to go back Porto after vacation.. At last one Police officer understand my situation and allowed me to travel Dubai..
I had only 1 hr 45 mins break in Dubai... so...when I wanted to boarding they got me.. They asked me to show again all the documents and the Police didnt beleive me at all.. He informed me that he will send me back to India.. I was bit angry and said to him you can verify all my documents if not go ahead with your decision.. I was happy to go back to my place.. (Ha ha ha)
Atlast, he scanned all the documents which I showed and called the Frankfurt office to take care of me.. (Ha ha ha)... I was allowed at the end to travel to Frankfurt...
After 7 hrs travelling I reached the Frankfurt.. When I passed thorugh passport control I got by federal Police.. He asked me go with him to his office.. He asked some questions and he got all the documents from me and asked me to sit infront of his office.. I was bit cool and called my home and informed them that i have reached Germany..
I liked the verification done by Federal Police, Frankfurt.. He just called the Porto Police to confirm taht I have lost my Residence permit also asked him to verify the documents showned by me.. He informed me to wait for some more time until he confirms from Porto Police....
After 20 mins he confirmed that I was right and allowed me to go out of the airport... Also he accompanied until the way out and he was kind enough to guide me to reach frankfurt hann airport where i need to catch the fly to Porto..
I reached the frankfurt Hann airport and I slept for 4 hours and got ready to take the fly to Porto... I caught even in this small airport but everything was cleared in 15 mins..
Finalmente, I reached Porto...
When I arrived home I checked my mails first.. One of the mail was from visa office from Porto.. My second card of Residence Permit was there.. I was happy about taht.. but, I should keep it carefully not to face these kind of issue.....
I really enjoyed and cant forget this interesting trip anyway... (Ha ha ha)
