Several visa questions.
That multi entry tourist visa is good for 180 days with multiple entries, not 60 days - that's the cheaper non multi entry you're thinking of there. Might be sufficient ? How having this visa in your passport affects the retirement application is best left for others...I'm sure they will be along and know the answer. -

BILD reveal Gaza hunger photos staged by Hamas/Turkish media
To get a bag of flour for his starving three children, Nedal AbuSharbi arms himself with a knife to protect against thieves and prepares to be shot by the Israeli military. There is so little food in Gaza – in the grip of famine due to a punishing Israeli blockade and the war – that lawlessness has taken over around the land crossings where the few aid trucks are able to get in. The father of three, whose youngest is just five months old, describes desperate, hungry crowds surging toward and attacking the few aid convoys that enter via the northern Zikim crossing. ‘Give us the flour – or we will kill you’: Gaza’s starving face impossible choices Desperate days indeed, Nedal carries on his story: The last time he went, he had to let three trucks go by before he was able to, in the suffocating scrum, grab a single bag of flour. “My joy was indescribable and I was overwhelmed,” he says, with desperation in his voice. “But on the way home, three young men I’d never seen before came up to me with large knives – and one man with a gun. They threatened me: either give them the bag of flour or they would kill me. -

Cheaper eggs under Trump... and the irony
Yes, the price of eggs has gone down in the US. But now industrial produce is going through the roof. For clarity, I'm calling it industrial to denote big-time agro-biz as opposed to family farms, orchards, etc, like these guys https://wilcoxfarms.com/ The egg shortage was a booster for the small, organic egg farms -- as the industrial egg prices went up the cost of the organic family-farm product became competitive. Between record heat waves and no one there to harvest the fields the future does not look promising: iceberg lettuce was over $4 a few weeks ago. Expect the retail price of quality coffee in the US to go above US$30/pound (it's around $20 now). -

Israel slaughters 5 more journalists
The Committee to Protect Journalists, an independent non-profit organisation based in the US that promotes press freedom worldwide, says at least 186 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel and Lebanon since the war began. 3 examples below: Anas al-Sharif: Seven people were killed in the attack, including another Al Jazeera correspondent, Mohammed Qreiqeh and the camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa, according to the Qatar-based broadcaster. Ismail Abu Hatab, 32, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on al-Baqa cafe on the seashore in Gaza City in June, along with 33 other people. Fatma Hassouna, 25, a photographer and film-maker, was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza in April, just months before her wedding. Six members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed. ‘I risked everything’: remembering six media workers killed by Israel in Gaza -

Several visa questions.
1. I will be traveling to Thailand again in December. I would like to stay for 90 days. As a U.S. citizen I can get a 60 visa exempt. If I leave Thailand for a few days, will I get another 60 day stamp when I return? I did this last year and received the new 60 days. However the immigration official called over another official and they took their time reviewing it before stamping it. The Chicago Thai consulate won’t commit to an answer. 2. if I would purchase a 60 day multiple entry visa for $200, I can come and go. If I leave at the end of 60 days will they stamp me for an additional 60 days when I return a few days later? 3. I am considering applying for a non-o retirement visa. If the process is not complete in 60 days (which would give me a 90 day extension), if I have leave after 60 days, how does the non-o get completed? 4. since I would like to stay for 90 days, my departing ticket would be after 90 days. I can purchase a ticket to another country dated during my 60 visa exempt period to show for a departing ticket. If I use it to leave for a few days, I still face the question of an additional 60 day stamp upon returning. Can anyone in this forum help with an answer? thanks
