Hi everyone,
I’m travelling in Peru with a friend and we crossed overland from Ecuador into Peru via Huaquillas/Aguas Verdes.
The situation was a bit strange. We went through the border and an immigration officer looked at both of our passports, but we were not given an Ecuadorian exit stamp and we were not given a Peruvian entry stamp. We were then allowed to continue into Peru.
We are now in Máncora and have only realised that neither passport has any evidence of the crossing.
We have not deliberately avoided immigration — our passports were checked by an officer, but the stamps simply weren’t put in.
Has anyone had this happen at the Ecuador–Peru border?
Specifically:
Were you able to continue travelling in Peru without problems?
Did you have to get the entry registered retrospectively?
Could this be dealt with at a Migraciones office in Lima, rather than going all the way back to Tumbes?
Does the lack of an Ecuador exit stamp cause a separate problem?
Most importantly, did anyone subsequently leave Peru successfully after having entered without either stamp?
We have our passports and evidence of travelling from Ecuador to Peru, so we can prove when/how we crossed.
Any first-hand experience would be hugely appreciated.

I was wondering, when a vac scheme application is rolling, what is the ideal window to apply in?
From past experience outside law, I know that if you don’t apply within the first few days of an application opening, you are at a huge disadvantage, as HR unofficially stops giving attention to later applications (I heard this directly from HR during a previous internship, and friends have heard similar).
Does the same apply to rolling applications in law firms? Is there a material advantage to being one of the first applicants to submit, or is the difference less significant?

I have a strong first class grade in history (73) from a top Russell group uni. My A levels are 3 A*, however I retook Maths which was originally at a B. Will this resit be flagged or cause problems with my applications for top MC and US firms, would they even notice?

I also have one module at a 57 from my degree. This was a language module I did for fun but ended up being way beyond my abilities. I notice some firms have a strict 2:1 in every module rule, will I thus be ruled out even though I have a pretty strong first class grade overall? I understand that there are plenty of firms which won’t care about either of these but would like some insight so I can make a shortlist of targets.

Thanks :)

Driving down tomorrow (Friday). I’ve been an idiot and not brought a parking ticket. How would I get one - they seem to be sold out…
