for those waiting for an outcome, it was only a hypothetical question :) (might not be so hypothetical when I leave but that's a long way off)

there seem to be a couple of Ms missing from the URL

...and I'm supposed to declare it. I tell the nice customs guy "hey, jose, I have 25,000 dollars under my wooly hat". Now what's going to happen to me as a UK citizen at that point? Once you've declared you're carrying over the 10k limit, what happens? My guess is that they'll want to know...

I heard you're allowed $200 per vacation day abroad. I presume there's some type of limit on this: what if you said (and showed air tickets) for a 3 month trip to US/Europe. I highly doubt AFIP would allow you to exchange $18,000! Also, I would bet this "loophole" will also be closed, just a...

the real problem is the EU because they have little or no control over that, so have decided to go uber crazy on all the non-EU stuff as that plays well in the press. Even Labour admitted very recently they made a huge mistake in 2004 allowing unfettered immigration from poland/romania even...

yes, that looks bad for them. With a working majority in the Commons though, there's no reason why they can't do the required and take it through parliament although my guess is they'll need to shift on the earnings/savings requirement. JSA for couples is £5800 per year...

this is where I see it falling down in the courts. For JSA, the govt. themselves state that far less is required to "support a couple" (of course, low balling those figures suits the state in that case because it means they have to pay less out) so it's a bit rich (pun intended!) them saying...

My visa people back in london have told me savings do count fully (over £16k) so if you are self-employed/unemployed and can't count earnings at all, you will need: 2.5 years (period of time initial spouse visa for) x £18,500 plus £16,000 (the ignored amount) Total = £62,250 In their initial...

do you mean those who ONLY hold Irish passport? I have UK and Irish.

I'm in touch with visa company in London and they've told me some of the new changes will get challenged and defeated in court, but may take some time. I too have Irish passport and was interested in EEU family permit route but as someone posted on previous page, that too is now being closed...

I read few years back that if every chinese family ate one extra chicken a week, the amount of corn/grain it would take to raise that amount of extra chickens was equivalent to something like the grain output of canada. May be remembering that wrongly but it was a stat that left had my jaw...

that would be even better

I have a writing project in mind and would like to hear from anyone who is in any way "famous"....business guru, authors, actors, entrepreneur, IT wizard, lotto winner, fugitive from justice, and so on. I don't want to define what "famous" means, you do that. :D I'm just testing the water at...

I'm a short story writer who will be in BA from mid-July to work on my first novel, got into writing the first time I was in BA (2009-11)

If I had 2 passports from having dual nationality, could I enter argentina with passport A and leave using passport B? I smile just thinking about how the immigration officials would feverishly page through my passport looking for the corresponding stamp...

...no, not the tacky sweet stuff they have at christmas. :eek: but real scrumpy! any bars or shops stock it? Even commercial brands such as Strongbow?

exactly this. There are two ways of taking something from someone. Go in gung-ho a la 2001 and grab it yourself....or just do everything to ensure the other person doesn't get to have it. Cristina learnt one thing from 2001 and is now using the second method. It's a corralito by the back door...

Can pay in $ or ARS, from early July, at least 6 months, possibly longer. Trying to find even 2yr argie contract and the agencies are taking the pi$$ with their demands for 2 months OR MORE of commission. Where do these guys get off asking for that...they do absolutely NOTHING, can't even keep...

ouch ouch...
