  1. It was just a point of thought. Not something over-dramatic such as Ph.D. dissertation requiring a scientifically clinical "no, you are not correct". If the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh imposes such requirements, then such is the rule and my suggestion should be disregarded. I neither implied nor asserted that I'm correct.
  2. Or consider flying to Phnom Penh first where Cambodian visa procedures for Chinese are more relaxed. Then arrange a Thai visa locally via an agent.
  3. I use Binance and Wirex. I have their Visa cards. I simply top up with USDT and it's shop til you drop. Literally til you drop because Wirex's card has a spend limit of 20k SGD (520k THB) per day. And the Binance card has a spend limit of 8700 EUR per day. Used it at IconSiam's Apple store and at some of Central Embassy's high end shops. Never declined. Was just asked if I wanted Tingapo dolla or baht mister? Euro or baht mister? Never given a choice of bitcoin or baht mister? Hopefully that day will come.
  4. No, nice try defending drugs. He was described as drug-crazed. And the meme was a laughably poor attempt to insult which, unfortunately for you, failed.
  5. I use mail boxes etc (MBE) in Australia to forward letters from my bank, sometimes even renewed credit cards and letters with PIN numbers from my bank in Germany. Totally reliable and not one negative issue in my 11 years with MBE. I recall forgetting my credit card PIN last year and requested a new one (the bank sends them via snail mail). I didn't bother with having it forwarded to me so I emailed MBE a written authorization to open the letter, scan it and email it to me. Within minutes I had my PIN and they also sent a pic of the letter shredded. Convenient and some might think it's not safe but the physical card's with me.
  6. This is the justification for the imposition of the death penalty for narcotics crimes in some countries. The penalties are often harsher than other heinous crimes such as murder or terrorism which, in some cases, can attract leniency or even a royal pardon after serving a portion of the imposed sentence. Drugs are seen as a causative element or a precursor of more serious crimes (such as the tragic incident reported above) and a destroyer of lives. As an example, in Cambodia a man who murdered his wife was recently sentenced to 15 years whilst a syndicate of narcotics manufacturers was meted out 33 years each with fines of $20k each, effectively prolonging the custodial sentence if it is not paid . As one can see here, the disparity shows the court's fundamental antipathy to narcotics crimes when compared to even the most cruel and barbaric cases of homicide, volitional or otherwise. The misuse and abuse of drugs can end innocent lives. This is why, yes, certain drugs must remain regulated, legislated and criminalized.
  7. Google is your best friend. Did it for you: https://locations.theupsstore.com/fl/dunedin/1497-main-st/mailbox-services https://www.atlanticpacknparcel.com/MAILBOX-RENTAL https://www.safeshippacknship.com/Products-Services/Mailbox-Rental https://www.a1ashippingdaytona.com/Mailbox-Rental/Domestic-Virtual-Mailbox https://www.sasquatchmail.com/florida-mail-forwarding/
  8. For $900k less, you can get a 10 yr Golden Visa just across the border + citizenship after 5 years. https://cm2h.com/our-services/
  9. Such disproportionately unfair terms. Invest more than USD 1 m for 3 years (and expose it to local risks) to be eligible to buy something that's just as risky, if not even more.
  10. My German bank (DKB) stopped refunding foreign ATM fees. They absorb their own fees if the account is credited with a minimum of EUR 700 monthly. My Miles & More card also charges fees. Fees fees fees. Endless fees.
  11. This won't change. Stay in your country if you can't comply. Why are you gaslighting and forcing other countries to adapt to your Karen-ish predilections? If the local laws don't suit you, stay at home where you can enjoy the luxury of rebelling against mama state.
  12. Sounds like a scary but convenient strategy. Never had a mortgage so I can't really imagine how borrowing against an already existing loan works apart from the fact that, yes, mortgage interest and repayments are bound to increase. Embassies want to see a strong incentive to return to the visa applicant's home country. Solid finances are a plus, if in her name, as well as any supporting documents and assurances you can provide to strengthen the contention of an existing relationship and her intention to abide by the visa's conditions. This just reminds me of my Cambodian friend's experience. He works for Aeon in Phnom Penh and had about USD 4k in his bank account when he applied. That and a letter from his employer. He applied at the French embassy and was granted a Schengen visa for 30 days. Profile: single, early 30s, earns $600/month, prior travel to Singapore and Bangkok, no supporting documents from anyone in Europe. He went to Paris and is back in Phnom Penh now. Then again, I know a phone shop owner who was rejected despite having far more assets.
  13. I stand corrected then. Yes I just noticed my German debit cards are now "numberless and nameless" on the front of the card. Everything is now printed on the back of the card.
  14. Those who are reckless and negligent are just as equally culpable if their actions facilitate the crime.
