    Hi PT yes I agree that I should be acting quicker, it's in the works! As for the URL if you want I can send it to you via PM? As it's my home country's immigration website. Meze, unfortunately it's true and there's a word here for it, that means "treating you for a meal" in my country's...

    There's a government website where you can enter your ID and it either comes out green or red. They actually encourage people, at the airport - to use the site prior to travelling, as people do sometimes get restricted for things like defaulting on their student loans, taxes, etc... I guess it...

    Hello Sigma, yea my family members are exploring options back home but the challenge is finding which cartel police head to pay off so they'd actually come to the table for a resolution. It's obvious that they're keeping the cases separate so they can perpetually extort money. Thank you for...

I asked ChatGPT what the quote means - yeah after studying more I realize that play would be unwise, I was panicking lol all cards were on the table - my...

    Yes I agree time is of the essence and as a poster above mentioned, the pages on my passport will run out eventually - especially at the frequency I'm travelling at, which is monthly! I feel I should plan my Mercosur journey sooner rather than later, get that 2 year countdown started. This few...

    Hi Wellington yea you're right that I have to do it in an embassy or similar. As mentioned either I do it now and become stateless immediately which is risky like you said and unwise strategically, or not do it at all. Just to paint a clearer picture - I haven't been charged with anything, i.e...

    Hi Darkred, thanks for replying to thread. I read u on Argentina and it seems that it might actually fit the bill, and the 2-years thing is correct! How's the business environment there? If say I were to incorporate for my design business and run it there, physically.

    It's a race against time for sure. Just met up with family and everything's fine :) Told them to stop paying off the police if they come again. We've paid the fine, bribes and jailtime - what more do they want... Even war criminals and serial killers are charged and sentenced once in court for...

    Good morning sir - am at the airport right now as I write this, onto my next station. Meeting up with my family too! I researched about Brazil by the way, I can go there and stay for up to 90-days, visa-free! Let me work for a few months more and accumulate some cash before coming to visit :) I...

    Will look into this. Hypothetically speaking, it kinda has to be done abroad right? If one does it from their home country - How does he/she travel out of the country having given up the passport?

    Hi Marie, yes - as of now I still can (renounce) The hard part is getting that CBI citizenship as the ones I've researched thus far all require an Original Police Clearance letter from the home country. Still researching every day though, hope to find something!

    Thanks for sharing! Watching some of the videos, pretty useful! I'm seeing LATAM countries as a recurring theme in my searches.

    Yes I do speak Mandarin, and Cantonese. I'm wondering though what happens if my current passport expires prior to obtaining the citizenship? And yes I have absolutely no idea - and that's the issue, I don't know how many victims there are, i.e. how many potential cases! Jafo, I get what you...
