Here we go again!
What is with these people who join the forum with the sole purposes of rubbing peoples noses in it?
And why are they always Indian/PIO/OCI status?
And why do they always include incorrect information ("why did you not apply for resident visas")?
It seems that our moderators get rid of one and another pops up straight away.
Can I suggest pulling legs off of spiders as an alternative form of cruelty? And you wont even have to get your facts right................

Yes, like many others we had a residents permit when we purchased and held it for five years, like you poppetjay. Oddjob - many of the people who are on this site are PIO's and are fighting to help us, as they live in complexes with other FN's and see the suffering and distress of their neighbours. So please if you are only here to winde people up - please stop. If you can give useful correct information we would all be greatful. Thank you.

I would just like to point out to 'Odd job' -
Your name is quite befitting to you - well the 'ODD' part anyway - some of your posts are extremely 'odd' ! I like to think that my level of edcuational qualifications have afforded me some mastery of the English language, however I am at a loss as to the interpratation of some of your written 'Quasi English' eg 'ON ON' ??????
Firstly the very fact that the majority of people who have purchased properties in Goa have not tried to be 'smart' as you so put it - they actually CONSULTED licensed professionals such as lawyers, bankers, accountants etc, and PAID these licensed professionals for their advice and services - surely these professionals should be ethically and legally accountable for ensuring they give correct advice? Isn't this a basic expectation of any client paying for a service wherever they be in this world? If you find this observation is at odds with your own viewpoint, perhaps you could fully explain why ?
The consultation with these professionals is the obvious key indication that those people have set out with full intent to act with total adherence to the laws of the land.
As for your comment about 'where in the world would you be allowed to buy Property on a tourist visa?', well here are a few places :
UK
USA
Carribean
Brazil
South Africa
France
Spain
Portugal (Jolly ironic this one !! see below !)
Greece
Turkey
UAE
Oman
Just a few off the top of my head !
Oh the irony of Portugal - some of those licensed professionals who have shafted us with their bent advice and deliberate falsities have purchased their villas in Portugal - on TOURIST VISAS !!
So Oddjob - welcome to our little community here, but do please work on your research before you spout off about issues such as law - there are some of us who know better than you !! Oh and please try not to be smug - it's very upsetting for your fellow human beings....
Dread - living in this world and not in a space oddity !!!

If I was not married to an Indian i would not get mad if I was not allowed to live in india as there would not be a connection.
How do think people in the UK feel when OUTSIDERS come in and try to rule the roost ie we Muslims should be allowed to run our lives as we see fit and use our laws not the laws of the land.
Some of you on here and again I say not all think that being British allows you bad mouth and run round like the British Raj is alive and well, well it an'it.
So if you want to have me booted off for having a option which you do not agree with go ahead.
But just think about how the Idians feel when some on here call them "their all savages"
So just to rub some of your stuck up noses in it "TOUGH" and can I buy you out with a discount?
My reasion for posting in the first place was not to rub your noses in it but to put the point India belongs to Indians not the British any longer.
So good bye and good luck to those who are trying to overturn incorrect or bad advise given in the past and to those who bad mounth and slag of Indians for running their own country as they see fit " see you at a local UK airport some time soon" lol

please feel free to black ball me from your Goa "Bitching" forum anytime you want as I have had my rant.

Oddjob we bought here because we loved the people and the culture.
Our world was rosie until the rules were changed (retrospectively) after we had our deeds registered and the Government had taken our 'stamp duty', we still live peacefully with our Indian friends and Staff, and they are disgusted about the way FN's are being treated. Those in business know that this will be the death knell for them.
Just another fact, we have nephews who are married to Indian's and our grandchildren have indian friends, and attend the local Mela's in full sari's and the boys in Sahara T Shirts, which go down a storm. They receive a warm welcome like we welcome our Indian family and friends to our home.

I am not trying to rub peoples nose in it but I get p****d off when "some by no means all" think being British allows them to bad mouth Indian,s just because they have been found to be holding incorrect or no paperwork at all to allow them to live in india on a tourist visa.
If I was not married to an Indian i would not get mad if I was not allowed to live in india as there would not be a connection.

No one is going to blackball for having a rant we are demacratic on this site.What is being pointed out to you on here is facts.Can i suggest you study the FEMA before you quote on here about a subject i don't think you have full knowledge of the situation
Keep posting nice to have another point of view but stick to fact and truth
GC Still fighting for what is legally mine

You are so right we are all in the same boat and this is what it's about sink or swim
have you voted on our Poll yet? Once you have made 3 posts you can then PM Lewis with your story.It is in total confidence no names or your identity needs to be given.
Don't worry about oddjob,we do get people on here that post their comments before being in full knowledge of the facts.I think once he has read the FEMA act and digested it fully he will be enlightened and I hope he comes back with a different song to sing,that of course if takes the time to fully understand it.
Keep Posting girl!!
