Hi PT yes I agree that I should be acting quicker, it's in the works! As for the URL if you want I can send it to you via PM? As it's my home country's immigration website. Meze, unfortunately it's true and there's a word here for it, that means "treating you for a meal" in my country's...

There's a government website where you can enter your ID and it either comes out green or red. They actually encourage people, at the airport - to use the site prior to travelling, as people do sometimes get restricted for things like defaulting on their student loans, taxes, etc... I guess it...

Hello Sigma, yea my family members are exploring options back home but the challenge is finding which cartel police head to pay off so they'd actually come to the table for a resolution. It's obvious that they're keeping the cases separate so they can perpetually extort money. Thank you for...

Hi everyone, I didn't expect the thread to end up in the popular post list in the OCT newsletter! :O Which seems to have caused it to garner more and more insightful replies. You guys have given me a lot to digest, let me read through and gather my thoughts. Really appreciate you guys...

Good morning everyone! @jafo thanks for the words of encouragement, I needed it, And yes it's time to buckle up, not a second to be wasted. I asked ChatGPT what the quote means - yeah after studying more I realize that play would be unwise, I was panicking lol all cards were on the table - my...

Yes I agree time is of the essence and as a poster above mentioned, the pages on my passport will run out eventually - especially at the frequency I'm travelling at, which is monthly! I feel I should plan my Mercosur journey sooner rather than later, get that 2 year countdown started. This few...

Hi Wellington yea you're right that I have to do it in an embassy or similar. As mentioned either I do it now and become stateless immediately which is risky like you said and unwise strategically, or not do it at all. Just to paint a clearer picture - I haven't been charged with anything, i.e...

Hi Darkred, thanks for replying to thread. I read u on Argentina and it seems that it might actually fit the bill, and the 2-years thing is correct! How's the business environment there? If say I were to incorporate for my design business and run it there, physically.

It's a race against time for sure. Just met up with family and everything's fine :) Told them to stop paying off the police if they come again. We've paid the fine, bribes and jailtime - what more do they want... Even war criminals and serial killers are charged and sentenced once in court for...

Good morning sir - am at the airport right now as I write this, onto my next station. Meeting up with my family too! I researched about Brazil by the way, I can go there and stay for up to 90-days, visa-free! Let me work for a few months more and accumulate some cash before coming to visit :) I...

Hello Jackson, thank you very much for creating an account just to reply to this thread. I've been blown away by the response from fellow forum members. Was not what I was expecting at all. People from all walks of life giving their take on the situation, which has given me ideas and directions...

Will look into this. Hypothetically speaking, it kinda has to be done abroad right? If one does it from their home country - How does he/she travel out of the country having given up the passport?

Hi Marie, yes - as of now I still can (renounce) The hard part is getting that CBI citizenship as the ones I've researched thus far all require an Original Police Clearance letter from the home country. Still researching every day though, hope to find something!

Thanks for sharing! Watching some of the videos, pretty useful! I'm seeing LATAM countries as a recurring theme in my searches.

Yes I do speak Mandarin, and Cantonese. I'm wondering though what happens if my current passport expires prior to obtaining the citizenship? And yes I have absolutely no idea - and that's the issue, I don't know how many victims there are, i.e. how many potential cases! Jafo, I get what you...

Good morning. For mine, it's the same as Singapore - no statute of limitations in criminal matters. So yeah. I guess the point of buying time is like you said not so much on the limitation period but drag it out so they get fed up and would settle for some deal. The thing is though, even after...

Am certainly doing a lot of thinking lately, so this is how it feels living on borrowed time. Which led me thinking.. how DOES someone with a criminal record live a life? Putting aside my situation at the moment, say someone commits a victimless crime, the crime being defined by the gov. as a...

Yea I've shared most of what I have on Andy with the cops. The thing is they're not actually charging me with the scamming and even said they know I didn't do it, they're charging me under a different section of the law as a money mule. And the worst thing is there can be a never-ending stream...

Will consult a lawyer to find out more about this. Taking it one day at a time. Are there any examples of a successful case doing this?

Thank you, Peter. I found The Paper Clip I by Barry Reid and will give it a read. Have also read your postings in the PT threads. Just to give you some context I'm actually from a certain South East Asian country. You probably can guess which one. As much as I love the US I don't think it...
