Not surprised. Same friend waited over a year once for a different tax stamp. Can’t imagine why other than intentional slow rolling.

Last year! Sounds like it’s changed since then.

I mean, purely anecdotal, but I had a close friend who had to do the process and it took over six months of waiting. Not difficult I guess, but it did take a long time…

You can’t easily buy one. You need a tax stamp and that’s a bit of a process. But you can buy one.
