Guest fatpom Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 hassle with gettin an RRV or we could come back every 2 or 3 yrs can u do that? I think so but I'm no expert. You can ask Dimia/diac. People having to go back for family reasons is not unusual at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
