If you know anything about Mexican residency, you would know that the financial requirements have gotten very high and they go up quite a lot every year. Options include by income OR money in the bank including retirement accounts. Most retired expat types would have enough in retirement accounts to qualify for temporary residence (which leads to permanent residence four or five years later without ever needing to show money again). But suppose you can't qualify or you're worried that the requirements will be too high if you ever do want to do this in future years. Well, believe it or not, there exists an amazing LOOPHOLE that gets around the financial requirements, basically getting you into the temp residence path towards perm or even citizenship. It's referred to as REGULARIZATION or officially RNE (Registro Nacional de Extranjeros). It sounds too good to be true but it has been true for many people moving to Mexico for years already. It's a program renewed or not renewed annually so no guarantee it will still exist when you want to use it and/or the rules could change as shown in the link. So what do you need to do? Visit Mexico as a TOURIST at least once and then you might be eligible for this loophole many years later. So what's the point? Well if Mexico is on your list as a possible backup to Thailand, and you're visiting the U.S. or Canada anyway, a little trip down south could set you up for this option later. Even if you could qualify financially, in some ways this is better, because for standard method, you must make application at a Mexican consulate abroad. With the RNE, you do the application in Mexico. Once you have your temp residency status you're in the exact same boat as those who qualified using the standard method. It's not a lesser than temp residence because of the way you started. WEBSITE: Special Residency in Mexico- NO INCOME NEEDED (RNE Program) - Mexico Relocation Guide

You say they're wrong. Both readings can't be right. Hopefully, sooner or later, this rather major issue for Americans will be clarified. Or maybe it won't be.

No you can't The full amount of the withdrawal is the relevant number for Thailand in both cases. They are both retirement accounts. Not bank accounts. Not regular investments, One was taxed by the IRS going in, the other going out.

TRD doesn't care about the U.S. tax rules. Both Roth and Traditional withdrawals are classed as accessable PENSION income if remitted.

Why not just send with DHL?

Sure, the U.S. can self isolate and withdraw from doing great PR soft power projects globally. The world will notice and the vacuum will be filled by China and others. Maga fools only think about short term transactional "wins" totally ignoring policies that have helped the American brand massively in the past. Make America Stupid and Petty Again more like.

Didn't you mean all HEIL Trump?

Why would the Thai government care what the fascist U.S. government is doing?

More like the second coming of explosive diarreah.

"Daddy's" home (golfing now) and it turns out "Daddy" is a psychopath.

Come again?

Beware the man bun.

I understand. Like a car wreck, it's hard to look away.

I can't speak for the left in any way, but my interest in the subject is about suport for comprehensive immigration reform that would be a win win for wannabe legal migrants and U.S. citizens and businesses. The republicans never want to actually solve the issue. They always want to demagogue it.

Funny he didn't say one word about invading Panama and Greenland or trying to annex Canada during the campaign. What other "surprises" await us?

You gotta crack some eggs (or immigrant heads) to make an omelette!

How are those egg prices going?

So I watched this Indian film All We Imagine as Light and it held my interest for sure and I recognized it as "different and important" but in conclusion I just wasn't feeling it as much as I had hoped. I felt it was like a European art film. That was before I read this about it. That's what the Indian critics who rejected it for submission as best Indian film for best foreign film for the Oscars felt too. An Indian movie, loved abroad, is snubbed at home for Oscar submission : Goats and Soda : NPR Anyway, who knows, maybe it will do more for you than it did for me.

This isn't now about what Biden did or didn't do. Maga did win. They need to govern now and history shows they're crap at it.

My information says more expensive but much more fascism theater to bring in the military,

I'm aware of that but if Trump takes Greenland by force I seriously doubt he would be respecting any such old treaties or formalities. He's not going to bother going through with grabbing it just to give it to another country. Another example, Panama. Trump has no legal right to grab it under a previous treaty. But he's trying. Please stop trying to sane wash and normalize a lawless madman.

Trump is doing fascism theater. There was zero need to declare a border emergency and involve the military because the border has recently been quite quiet. But declaring such an emergency needed or not (not) gives him many more dictator type powers than otherwise. There was also no need to use military planes to fly people out. The normal transport methods work quite well. Trump like dictators in general loves to create artificial crises and then "fix" them and we'll be seeing plenty of that classic trick from him in the coming ever accelerating dystopian years. It is true for now that ICE is targeting super baddy types but if they happen to find 100 law abiding tax paying beloved community members in such a raid, they're busted too. Of course any president has deportation powers. But Trump isn't any president. He's milking this for all its worth and bringing "Dr. Phil" along for the ride. He will probably be building "detention camps" as the numbers add up and very recently he has announced an intention to deport CITIZEN criminals to be sent to prisons in El Salvador in order to save money on keeping them locked up. Saving money is great but sorry intentionally deporting citizens, even the worst of them, is outrageous. Clearly he is trying to desensitize the population to more and more fascist tactics, and there is little doubt he will be using the military INTERNALLY to deal with immigration matters, particularly in what he considers "internal enemy" cities and U.S. states. He will break every rule, norm, and law that he can possibly get away with, and he will be getting away with alot.

Both are or at least were friendly. Obviously Denmark is in charge for now. Greenland is seeking Independence.
