I've never heard such a load of crap in all my life.
A "tag", a bit like being on parole?
Forget about making Goa your home,they want you out it's as simple as that.
Visa issues will just get worse,wait and see.
To be honest i'm glad to see the back of the place.:thumbdown:

Almost. I read that as a way of emphasising that they would go overboard on maintaining a record of where you are?

The two month-out rule according to official sources originated from the Pakistani terrorist known briefly as Headley and his frequent visits to various parts of India, including Goa, to plot attacks. The response to this of course, is ridiculous........

As is the general reaction by some on IndiaMike, claiming that it is to stop "foreigners" living in India on tourist visas. There is absolutely no factual basis for this, other than their bigotted attitude to those who have worked hard all their lives so that they can retire to their chosen "place in the sun".

Most of those pedalling this crap are Americans. And as we all know, the only place Americans feel comfortable retiring is.....America. Lets face it, when you have bombed most of the rest of the planet....well, your retirement options (security-wise) are limited.

The attitude in Goa, fanned by their amazingly corrupt politicians,is that all the ills of the state should be laid at the feet of foreigners......well this may concur with certain IM saddos, but thats about all.

As someone pointed out earlier, the two month rule originates from Dehli, far away from Goa's uniquely mega-corrupt system......so do the central government care about a few Brits trying to live in Goa? Of course not.

What they do care about, as do most Indians, is losing face. And in the last couple of weeks India has lost enough face to last a lifetime, so don't hold your breath for a change in visa rules....cos it was daft to start with, and will appear even dafter on the world stage when (if) they withdraw it.

Goodnight.

Goa's economy, black or whatever, first of all revolves around iron ore and land/property/development manipulation and the corruption that accompanies it. Who gives a sh!t about about a few thousand whities/farangs in Goa or India, with a pop. of 1.3 billion? You're lost. The only people affected are the locals on the beach belt. The good ones that I know will also suffer, but they are businessmen and will survive. I know Goans who would like to see a drop in tourist numbers to get rid of the hangers on, who you see on street corners, with their shiny new bikes everyday, claiming to be in the tourist business.
It's no good banging your head up the wall.......

enough

Your quite right "enough". They can stick the stinking dirty hole.
One bit of good news is they have started "banning" them now from some hotels in Bangkok...doing the washing in the swimming pool! Well the machine is 30 Baht a time!!

It appears that there are a couple of individuals on here that have made it their mission to constantly run down all things Goan and jump on any post that appears even slightly positive or upbeat. The same people have long since shown their true colours. I just don't understand if they hate Goa so much and want rid of it, why they spend so much of their free time on this Goa forum.

If you don't like something change it and if you can't then change the way you think about it.

I hear from people on here with partners of Indian Origin all the time.
Infact i am sick of their biased views.
P.S. Your last sentence is absolute rubbish.

Pronounce Dikshit wrongly...you're racist.

Discriminate against thousands of foreigners in property matters....you're not.

Can any member truly say they're not being discriminated against, on racial grounds, by the Goan government. I am, and if I air my views, I'm racist. What crap.Don't you know, most Indians are taught about discrimination from the cradle, and practice it to the grave. It's called caste.

I'll always pronounce Dikshit phonetically.
