@Winston *******

thank you! Much appreciated.

I'm so glad you asked this question. My biggest concern about getting a retirement visa was that I travel frequently and I was wondering what one does about the 90 day report. I know; I know. It seems stupid and that's why I was afraid to ask the question. Lol. I hope you don't mind my tacking onto your question and asking folks if having many exits and maybe not going for reports for an extended period of time if one travels outside the country frequently will raise any concerns when one either does finally go to report or when one goes for a visa extension?

@Vaner ******

people have a bank account when they plan to stay somewhere, not when they are tourists. Very simply, you are being given wrong information as many have already told you. You don’t need a bank account

still needing the last word, eh?

@Alistair *********

oh...sorry, I was supposed to let you have the last word, right? My bad. I'm done now.

@Alistair *********

you also didn't need to start this at all. My comment was from 2 days ago and wasn't about you.

@Alistair *********

only because you also said Australia did not have any such requirement. I honestly don't know why people are feeling like they need to find a reason why the airlines' rules aren't relevant to them rather than recognizing that this was a warning to folks that this was a potential issue, even if they've never encountered an issue.

@Alistair *********

This is an incredibly stupid fight to be having. People posted, "MY country allows me to travel without the other parent's permission." and they were wrong. It was as simple as that. That was all I was saying. You are just itching for a fight. I don't have the time or energy to fight with everyone on Facebook who just feels a need to fight with everyone to no benefit. There is absolutely no benefit in this. If you want to try to travel with a child without parental permission, go for it!

@Alistair *********

I assumed no such thing. As I mentioned, I knew Jamaica did not have such a law. SMH

@Alistair *********

btw, Australia obviously does have laws requiring parental consent, even if it's not required in writing. As such, an airline could still have its own requirements to cover their butts. For this reason, one should always know an individual carrier's requirements before traveling. Somewhere here, I mentioned what happened with Air Canada, even though Jamaica (the destination for the passenger who had the issue) had no laws requiring traveling with minors. I just think it's silly for people to be debating this. It's prudent for people to be prepared, no?
