There can be a different due date for your 90-day report if your immigration office gives it to you. This happens when I file by mail 15 days before the due date. Otherwise, the 90-day report is due on the ninetieth day after you enter the country. These dates have no relation to TM 30s or period of stay renewal dates. I have always mailed in my 90-day reports and have never had a problem. Some people don't like doing the paperwork but it always works whereas the online reporting sometimes doesn't work for a variety of reasons. 90-day reports should be mailed not later than fifteen days before the report is due. I will be getting a new passport next year so I will go to report my 90 days in-country in person and have my stamps transferred to my new passport at the same time. After that I'll go back to mail-ins. Of course, if you are over 5 days late in submitting your 90-day report, you must go in person and pay your 2,000 baht fine.

What is a trash "tip?"

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Visit Vietnam and read the newspaper Tuoi Tre. The pages are full of reports of various cruel scams. I'm a Vietnam veteran 66-69. My ex-wife was Vietnamese. She has been scammed twice by other women who took everything. Some of the cruelest scams are the false marriage scams perpetrated by Chinese women who charge large sums to recruit people who will pretend to be marriage partners for Chinese who want a fiancé visa to get to the US. She pays Americans to visit the prospective spouse in China. After the Americans return to the US, she disappears with all of the money that the Chinese have paid. I have read letters that the Chinese have written to the American scammers. They are truly pitiful. One of the cruel scams that I remember in Saigon was that of various clinics that sprang up in Saigon offering expensive injections to make childless women pregnant. The women's bellies swelled but none became pregnant. All of the clinics disappeared.. Plus la change, quelque la meme chose!

My grandfather was a GP doctor and surgeon in a small Pennsylvania town. One day, while rushing to the hospital, he hit and killed a woman pedestrian. His license was suspended for life but he was allowed to keep practicing medicine. He had to hire a permanent chauffeur to drive him around for the rest of his life. In his private practice, he treated a lot of farmers and laborers for free or for a very low fee so I think that he paid his debt to society in this way. He also donated a wing to the town hospital. He didn't have much money when he died. For this football player, I think that a judge should create an appropriate sentence that would included a life-long ban on driving. That would impose a life-long tax on his income. A long-term requirement for doing public service would also be appropriate. His life doesn't need to be destroyed but he should pay appropriate penalties.

Most of us will face body deterioration and illness before we die. Statistics show that most of the. money spent on healthcare is done in the last few years of life. We can't all go out as Queen Elisabeth did. For some of us, hospice care is more appropriate than hospital care before we die.
