@Rod *******

to be clear you mean "normal for naive tourists to get scammed"

@Peter ***************

yeah, I still think it is creepy. Answer or ignore him in good faith don't vett his worthiness to ask.

@Peter ***************

do you just magically remember or did you go stalk the OP page for this nugget?

@Nick ***********

hey man... First, good luck. Second, please let me know how it all plays out. I will be attempting the same thing in about 6 months. I've been doing the transfers for years. All of this vague I'll defined stuff is embarrassing.

What visa?

@Nick ***********

this was the only time I've needed it quickly. It was just such a stark contrast to the first experience that it puzzles me.

@Randy *****

these are the people who fine the ex pat when a hotel doesn't file the TM30 and now we don't get a stamp when the outcome could be jail.

@Nick ***********

how long have you used it? I did one transfer and was amazed at the speed. Then I had some circumstances that required rapid action and WISE said it would take 7 days so I did another thing... Does it sometimes just take a while?

I've had several IOs having bad days flip through my entire travel history looking for stuff to bitch about. This seems pretty risky for me without the appropriate infrastructure to back it up.

I have no problem with open doors. I do think coming through and open door and closing it is slightly less bad, but also a weird move. I get people can be creatures of habit and this isn't a hanging offense. But I wanted to humor my wife and be open to "maybe in Croatia closed doors in the daytime are considered bad luck so nobody closes doors except at night" or some shit- maybe the guy thought he was spreading goodness. I doubt it, no replies have indicated such... But I'm still loosely open to the idea.
