I don't think it would but if you move it's important to keep your TM30 and address reporting updated to reflect your current address. So at extension time you'd have a TM30 reflecting your address at extension time and also be ready to provide any required proof of address documents to them for the extension on top of the TM30.

I find your comment meaningless without talking about borders. Before 1948 it was all the British Mandate of Palestine. Jews were Palestinians then.

Currently the State Department is experiencing deep staffing cuts. Surely that will impact what is often the US "bank" of last resort of Americans abroad -- SDFCU, State Department Federal Credit Union. You may think you're already well and securely set up for your US banking needs while abroad. but that could change at any moment. SDFCU will open accounts for expats without a US driver's license or address by passport. US banks don't do that. SDFCU does. What I'm suggesting is a little radical. I'm suggesting that expats open SDFCU accounts en masse to help them out during a rough patch and also solidify SDFCU's role as the friendliest to expats US financial institution. I'm not sure what percentage of their accounts are from expats (including embassy staff) at the moment. but if it doubles, it will be harder for them to stop being friendly to us in the future. Just a thought. Why not a SDFCU account as a backup anyway if you think you don't need it yet? To clarify for those who don't like anything to do with the government. SDFCU is an independent CREDIT UNION. It is not a part of the State Department.

Whatever the label that sticks or doesn't stick, Israeli government policies towards the Arab non-Israeli citizens have been horrifying and downright evil. It used to be that Israel had moral authority to back them up. That's long gone.

Trump has proven to be an incredibly effective political propagandist so yes he did win this time. But he didn't win the right to be a one person dictator and that's clearly how he's acting.

The trouble with that is the majority of Palestinas do not accept the existence of Israel within any border. So Palestine what borders? It's not simple. You might say west bank and Gaza, but yes Israel has messed up hopes for peace with all the settlements. I have no answer. Liberals saying two state solution seem to be just playing a game as that's not realistic now.

Impossible to know at this point. But about your reference to being told that only random people will be sent the 7162s. At this point that seems as if that probably is NOT true. But that is something that definitely needs to be watched by us, the expats effected, as who else is going to care?

There are hardly any of those existing anymore so that's academic. But thanks for pointing that out. Palestinians talk about a Nakba but they always fail to mention what happened to Jews in Islamic countries.

I support Israeli's right to exist and defend itself but draw the line at many of the things Netanyahu. etc. have done.

Not fully that's true. But non-Jewish Israeli citizens are massively better off than Palestinians who are not.

There you go again.

Yes, of course. But about 80 percent are.

You can't undo the Jews don't want peace gem. You're not fooling anyone.

It's a thing right now at the Jomtien retirement desk. It happened to me recently. It never was before. Turns out I didn't need to clean my place to impress the Popo as all the officer needed were some photos standing next to him in front of my building and also inside the lobby. He didn't even go to the front of my actual condo. Silly but nothing to stress about. One fun thing he did was call a few minutes before he showed up. Perhaps that's their plan to smoke out people who would be travelling in advance to a place they don't actually live at.

You weren't. You said Jews: That appears to be a pattern for you.

News flash. Not all Jews are Israelis.

Predictable as muck.

Well Russia has targeted Zelinsky for assassination numerous times, so it follows that Ukraine is justified in being more aggressive in targeting back.

What is that? Thais need to buy more American rice?

Thousands of restaurants. There is a local internet "personality" who has asserted that Pattaya has the most restaurants in the world when measured by density within a geographical area. I don't know about that or how restaurant is defined exactly but there really are a s-load of them! Of course the quality of most of them is another matter.
