book a flight out online and screenshot it. Just don’t pay for it.

Just show the itinerary with price. Sorta like the pic. When the airline asks just show them the screenshot of the flight. Immigration prob won’t ask but if they do just tell them u flying to Cambodia on such and such date and back in after a week. If they ask for proof just flash them the screenshot. I doubt they will ask anyhow.

Well….So far there has been in excess of 2,500,000 illegal crossings this year at our souther border. 8 consecutive months of over 150,000 a month of illegal crossings. They all can stay until their court dates which is prob at least 2-3 years away. They give them a cell phone so they can stay in contact. Lol

Get her a visa and Fly her to TJ. Let her walk across. They will ask her if she has any friends or relatives here in USA that she can stay with until her court date. Give her your number and when they ship her somewhere (hopefully the city u live in, u can meet back up. While u wait for a court date, chances are the government will give her citizenship just to get them off the records. Just saying. They don’t try her with any crimes or lock her up. It’s catch and release as long as she surrenders at the border.

Harry Swensen that’s exactly how it’s working right now. Most people coming across the border at Mexico are not even Mexican. She could fly to Mexico and just walk over. That will give her at least 2-3 years before she even has to ask for a court date.

That’s like $875 USD per year. Crazy cheap since I’m paying almost $1600 a month in USA w a $8000 USD deductible.

How much r u paying now per month? Do u have preexisting conditions which are making it costly? I’m 62 going on 63.

U r American citizen. Just grab your passport and fly to Thailand. When u get there just show them your passport and you will get 45 days Visa Exempt. Then apply for the 30 day extension. At the end of 75 days if u need more just leave Thailand and then come back w additional 45 days and 30 day extension. No need to apply for a visa.

Don’t forget u have to factor in the Fees Wise charges.

it’s possible they waived the fee for me since they told me over the phone it wasn’t a charge. But even though Schwab only charges $25 for international wires ($15 if online) and free if u have a certain minimal balances on some larger accounts.

I just did the transaction a few weeks ago. My bank never charged me a fee since it was domestic. Not sure how the actual coding was done but I wasn’t charged a wire fee. Schwab said it was considered Domestic wire. Either way I wasn’t charged a fee.

Use Bangkok Bank. Set up a FCD account. (Foreign Currency account). Use your back to send a free domestic wire transfer to Bangkok Bank.

The amount will arrive in the same currency as your home country. No fees from your home country bank. And Bangkok Bank only charges a .25 fee to deposit foreign currency w a max of 500 Baht

Then u can park the foreign currency and exchange it when it’s at its best for u. The exchange rate is at their “TT Rates” quote which is highest rate given at the bank. They charge .25% fee to exchange it in Baht. Minimum 500 baht fee but no maximum.

I transferred $180,000 USD and that was the cheapest way for me. No fee from my USA bank as I used my domestic wire to Bangkok Bank NY. Bangkok Bank charged me 500 Baht to deposit it. And .25% to exchange it into Baht.

I did the calculations between Wise, Bangkok Bank FCD and also Xe. After calculations the FCD account was the cheapest.
