Dear Expat readers,

My son has been baptist in Poste de Flacq in 2004 and now we are living in Ireland.
The church here needs his baptist certificate to prepare his first holy communion.
I have send many emails to the church there to provide me this document but those hard head people never reply me back.
Is anybody who can give me the advice how to handle in this case,because is urgent for my son and is not the way to travel there for 1 document.

Thank you in advance.

Erwin

Erwin,

If this is a) still an outstanding issue and b) can wait 'til January, I'd be happy to look into it for you when I get back from the holidays.

Re: contacting the church, I'd try calling via phone as an escalation from email. It's worked wonders for me, even with the university faculty here!

Thank you very much for your concern and hope in January to get a positive result.

If for some reason you cannot ring them - Send them a letter an international signed for one and enclose stamped addressed envelope or some cash to cover the cost of posting.
I know its urgent but at least this way you will know they have received your letter - remember to tell them it is urgent.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks for your concern, but I live there for 5 years and I know how the Mauritius authority treat foreigners. The issue here is if you can put money under the table(corruption) it will help, no stamp or registered letter will help,and never put money in the envelope.Because I am from Europe and millionaire as those Asian countries think about us.I hope 1 day I will have the documents just waiting time.

Thank you and wish you happy Christmas.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with your comments - in every Country in the World there is corruption.

I did put cash in an envelope when I had to write to a Department in Mauritius from the UK and yes they used it to put stamps on their return letter to me.

Although I have not been in Mauritius for long, every "official" and local Mauritians that I have had to deal with have treated me with upmost respect and politeness but then I have treated them the same. Karma maybe?

Merry Christmas and good luck.

My dear Bro just give me the name of a single country in the world where there is not any kind of corruption. Lets not try to generalize things about coruption and europeans being the milk cow that all Asians want to get their milk from. It start sounding as a racist comment. just try to be civilized and not generalised things

Listen my friend as I know you are from Mauritius, and I can understand you feel hurt when I complain about your country.
I am a foreigner who stay there 5 years and be treated badly in finding jobs,legal documents,unfriendly taxi drivers. more and more. I had decided to move back to Europe because they are really racist.If you are in my shoes you will react now in another way towards me.But I know everyone likes their home country bad or good.

Its OK Bro, Guess you had really had a hard time here. I'm just sorry that you were treated like that, and i did not meant any offence, you free to have your own opinion. cheers
