ESL Podcast 417 – Getting Travel Documents
时间：2019-02-03 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Joyce: We need to apply for our passports now if we want to have them in time for our trip to McQuillanland.
Steven: I have a passport.
Joyce: Yes, but it expired last year. You need to renew it before you can get a visa. McQuillanland requires a visa and vaccinations 1 before they’ll allow entry into the country.
Steven: Okay, okay, where is the application? I thought U.S. citizens could travel freely in McQuillanland.
Joyce: That used to be true, but their policies have changed. We also need to bring our applications to their consulate 2 in person, with all of the supporting documents.
Steven: Fine. The application asks which visa classification we’re applying for. Should I check student or tourist?
Joyce: Even though we’re taking a language course while we’re there, we’re asking for a tourist visa. We can stay for three months on a tourist visa.
Steven: What are they going to do if we overstay our visa, deport 3 us?
Joyce: Yes they will, and you don’t want to deal with the McQuillanland authorities. They’re not known for being kind to lawbreakers.
Steven: Those McQuillanlanders are my kind of people.
