The first available date for Bet Shemesh is ... 4 July! That can't be right! But, yes, it is: I have to make an appointment six months in advance! As one cannot use passports in the three months prior to their running out, and a new one could take as long as six weeks to arrive, this means that we cannot leave the country between the beginning of March and the middle of August.
What does this mean if I am honoured to attend the degree ceremony in Edinburgh in June, should I be awarded my doctorate?
The website shows various locations and dates - I could make an appointment for Karmiel on 2 May, thus saving two months! As I and my wife travel half price on trains, this wouldn't cost very much. Unfortunately the website won't allow me to make multiple appointments. OK, I cancel Bet Shemesh and make an appointment for Karmiel.
Now we're set for 2 May... in Karmiel, with a 3 hour journey ahead of us (and 3 hours back). Even so, I'll check the website every day for cancellations in Bet Shemesh.
As for paying, if I do so before the end of February and via the website, the renewal will cost only 160 NIS. I understand that after February, it will cost 320 NIS, and paying in person is even more expensive. I believe that I can pay in advance, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
