Comments Another very pleasant live aboard experience. When we went to leave the country we were informed that we had overstayed our visas. When they stamp your passport it clearly states in very small print that you can only stay for 30 days and we had stayed 32. They fine you $25 per person per day for this. I tried to explain that in my country when you overstay your visa you are offered welfare and housing subsidies. That didn't matter. When I asked how I could do this in future so that we didn't incur a fine, the process was so convoluted that I think it would just be easier to pay the fine.
