“Tramite “in english can be translated “processing” as in: we are processing your residency, we are processing your drivers license, we are processing...  Changing countries requires lots of processing. Heading out to take care of a few “tramites” almost always means long lines, lots of waiting, and being told to go back and start over once you have ALL of the right documents. This week I completed my drivers license “tramite”. I am now legally empowered to drive in El Salvador for the next five years...
.... not yet sure if that is good news or bad news :)
