how (not) to get Pakistan visa

I went to Pakistani embassy today to pick up my "12 months multi-entry NGO working visa" that were supposed to be finished on 9.5...

But after three months of communication for the first time they have noticed that they (embassy) dont issue such visa, that this is done by Ministry of Interior of Pakistan.
I was faced by a sympathetic man (with such a English/Pakistani accent that I had BIG problems understand) who politely asked me: "Would You like me to give You the 90 days single-entry visas? Just tell me."
Well to translate into normal speech: "You can choose to get the short-term visa or get no visa at all, the 94 EUR You have paid You will not get back anyways..."

Guess what did I choose...

But the story of today is:
- they were too polite to tell me, that they most probably wont issue the visa
- the way I was informed was so polite, that I could not even get pissed off
...first culture shock...
Slovaks would send me to $#@^, these were polite. What did They achieve? The simple fact that only what I asked for (doesnt matter I had no other choice).

By Kurt (MC Paki current) I was advised to argue (now having the visa)... a little haggle training :)

What next?
Not much... I leave on 1.6., arrive on 2.6. at 17:05 to Karachi. And after arriving start arguing (and paying again fees) with Ministry of Interior to get the full visa...

Will try my luck
