Maraming salamat for your introspective post... I sent you a quick PM

YOu have a good point there, I will ask the same question on the Philippines Expat page, but would still like to hear the recommendations from this page also

I thought he could at least offer a wide scope of options with sound reasons why those are viable, but if you are looking for more specific info on Phils, you can check out < The Filipina Pea> ... If you look at the list of her videos, she speaks on many specific areas in Phils and what makes those areas inviting and sometimes also covers the things to watch out for... Hope this helps.

When making such a decision, I would recommend to take a listen to this International accountant called <The Nomad Capitalist>... He might be able to shed some light on the best countries to settle in. For my five cents, I am studying areas in the Philippines where I would like to stay and found places such as Iloilo, Duaguete and Valencia to be pretty attractive. Best of luck and let me know if you need any additionnal info.

Unless the customer is a VIP or on a Business Class ticket, Airlines usually have a considerable Fee for changing a booking ( Example: minimum $150 with most airlines) Versus one day overstay of 500 Bahts= $15 ... The choice should be easy ;o)

First step I would say is Call some of the BIG airlines as well as the American Animal Society and the Dog Certification orginisation (ADA) and they can steer you in the right direction.

I will add to my Post, she also needs to demonstrate SELF ACCUMULATED 😊 not put in as one LUMP SUM) capacity to Support Herself with minimum $1000 CAD per month for 6 months = $6000 CAD as well as have Medical Insurance meeting the TRV requirements. There is another option utilized by Ship Captains which put a BOND of $25,000 CAD for each boat staff to go into Canadian port during Ship maintenance, but that takes some Legal Documents with certified Criminal Record check as well as a few more legal Forms not shown on the TRV application website, but we have previously had success with this sort of TRV application in the past.

Yah I hear you 10-4 on that... Life changes on a dime over here, so I truly did not see this coming, but trying to make the best of it. What are the differences if any on Renewing versus Reapplying? Also, with all the talks on making Health Insurance mandatory for Retirees, this assuming nothing changes from now until then, is there any Health Insurance or any other requirements as it stands today, for New Retirement Visa Applicants?
