No, in theory they might be but in practice they are not and if you had ever been burgled or mugged you would know this.

Dread - x I've been to India twice FYI. Never been an expat there, though. Somebody on this forum posts general interest stories. Occasionally they interest me and I post a reply. More often than not I'm then subjected to abuse from the mod and concierge. I don't actually care that much, but it might be nice if your reply was actually based on a disagreement with what I wrote rather than just hurling personal insults at those who don't holiday in Goa, or don't believe the Daily Mail is evil incarnate. FYI, I post all over the US forums often, TIO and the Lab frequently, the Lounge and MBTTUK occasionally. Despite the fact its akin to gouging out your eyes with a rusty piece of barbed wire, I even sometimes post in Goa where the subject is of general interest. |

If you had the faintest idea about Indian visa and residency rules you would know that it is almost completely impossible to live as a true expat in India. Many would love to (including myself) but it is impossible, unless you class 6 months in 2 months out as an expatriate life? And between, battle royal with misinformed beauracracy for your next visa taht makes up the rules as they go along............ Your nasty little jibe is ill informed and I cannot understand why anyone would applaud it, most people on this forum who bought property in Goa did so in good faith, but have suffered under retrospective legislation for many years. If you are as bored out of your tiny little brain as you appear to be, I hear Libya is the destination of the future.............and there are good opportunities for landmine clearance...........hands over your ears, tentative and searching right foot forward, you get the idea........and little chance for getting bored? Bye :fingerscrossed: . |
