Global Expat Forum: Not-yet-retired wanna be expat - Where?:

Ireland, please tell me how to live there? I love it!!!

Global Expat Forum: Hong Kong Divorce vs CENOMAR for US visa:

You should Google it. I have found a lot of information on there. I read something about that tonight. It will only take you a minute, seems like the U.S. Site is much plainer to understand than the Irish one I have been reading. Good luck.

Ireland: Wishing to move to Ireland.:

After reading these messages, I am very disappointed. I'm afraid I will not qualify for a move there. Why do they make it so hard for good people to move there. I can understand about some people. I am an upstanding citizen, that would and am a model person. Why can't they screen us and make sure we are good people, before they ban us. I love Ireland, I have grand friends there. I would love to retire there. It will be a shame if I can't.

Ireland: Approval to stay:

The first trip I made, which was a learning experience, trust me. Lol. The immigration fellow gave me a two hour interrogation on why I wanted to stay 5 months? My friend I was visiting had invited me for the summer. I decided to go for it. Boy, did I get a hardy welcome. He wanted my friends phone number. Of course, my phone was dead, from all the calls I made coming over. Sooooo, I finally after sweating and nearly having a panic attack. I finally found it on my I Pad. He called her and chewed her out too. I had read the web site, but I was so excited, I overlooked that. She had too. He stamped it in my Passport, I had to leave in three months. I smiled the whole time, I wasn't about to make him any more upset. He finally let me get my bags off the luggage thing. I was sweating bad by then. I rolled them out on the second buggy, because the first one I chose was broken. After many questions to people I didn't understand, an oriental couple helped me to know what to do. I was very flustered,to say the least. I finally found the money exchange, got a few euros. Sat down to cool off, called my friend. She called my hotel and got directions to the hospitality bus. I had to push my three big bags and tote about five hundred yards to the bus. On my way across there, it was so rough my buggy bounced and my I Pad flew out of my tote and crash landed on the brick sidewalk and cracked. By that time I was ready to sit down in a foreign country and cry, like a baby. Lol. I eventually got to the bus, crawled on board, got to hotel early. I made a reservation when I bought my plane ticket, for my hotel room to rest until Sunday morning when my girlfriend was to pick me up to go to her house, which was in Co. Donegal. They tried to make me take a smaller room. I refused, by this time I was in no mood to be cheated out of my Queen sized bed, I had paid for either. Then as I was about to walk off, she said okay we do have one. I was happy and so was she. Lol. I went to my room, took a shower and slept like a baby. Next morning, she picked me up. I felt good, it was a beautiful trip. I did have to pay $375.00 to the airline though to go back early. I did eventually meet some very nice people though. My host was one. Everyone else I met was fabulous. I really enjoyed my trip after that. Like I said, it was a learning experience. Sincerely, R. Phipps.
