Remember there is also a Eid holiday coming up in Dec. during which the government is closed.
If we get no extention, I read our bank accounts could be frozen and our ATM cards may not work at the dawn of the new year!
If you plan to wait it out, and not fight the crowds to get your card now, it's a good idea to have a lot cash on hand before the new year starts!!!
