Re-entry Permit when getting a new passport.
Thanks for this. How long after I get a new passport do I need to go to immigration to get my stamp transferred? -

Dollar seen as risky currency status alert
If the WSJ says that Trump's tariffs were designed to strengthen the dollar, I do not believe them. Instead, IMHO, the tariffs were designed to initiate world-wide negotiations on a restructuring of tariffs to produce a situation more favourable to U.S. exports and less favourable to its imports. In order to correct trade imbalances. For the same reason Trump wishes to see a cheaper dollar. The dollar is falling in purchasing power. So is the euro, which therefore cannot be said to be 'soaring' in real terms. Fiat currencies are pieces of paper of no guaranteed value, backed only by government decree that they are to be used as a means of commercial exchange. Their value relies upon the confidence of those that use them. Which can be related to scarcity or otherwise, and the reliability of the issuer. As regards the reliability of the dollar's issuer this took a bad hit on the international stage from the Biden administration's use of it to sanction foreign powers. Bank notes are no longer promissory notes that the issuer guarantees to redeem for real money. I.e. gold. (Or possibly bitcoin but certainly not other cryptocurrencies). -
