Steve Kelly Photos Nice! I used to spend mid May through mid August in central Pennsylvania with my sister and her family and my ancient mother, to get away from the crappy weather here during those months. But I was missing my woman too much after three months so I now shorten the US visits to twice per year for one month each.
In my experience, some airlines check and some do not. China Airlines asks to see my visa every time I fly back to Thailand from the US, which is twice per year.
I believe it's up to the airline. I fly with China Airlines to/from New York, and since the return ticket is back to Thailand, every time the airline staff in New York asks to see my long term visa, which I have.
I brought my dog here and I'm sorry that I did. First, expensive and complicated process. Second, diseases here spread by street dogs are rampant, even with vaccinations your dog is at risk. Walking your dog will probably be risky, as street dogs may attack in numbers. I never walk my dog alone and always carry a stout stick for protection. Tricky finding a rental accepting pets, even houses. And finally, euthanasia is not legal here, so expect when it's time, your dog will die at home, perhaps an unhappy demise.
