Oh great piles of steaming ordure!
This is really bad news. So much for BHCI helping us - I had favoured the next meeting being in March but there is now a strong case for February - or at least some public comment from them. AndyD 8-)# P.S. 12 month visas are still mentioned on the visa fees page, but offering 3 month visas to property owners is a real p#$$er! |

As you say "not too much of a problem with two homes" we have lost our pension savings being, stupid to purchase, but I think those who sold up everything to live out here were even more nieve than those of us who purchased. None of us knew what the future held, but I would never have sold my family home.
Fortunately I rent!!!!!! Living off investment!!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: Visa help.
Has there been any more news about this? - I haven't seen anything about other people being given 3-month visas, and there is a post elsewhere about a long-term resident lady apparantly getting a visa extension from the MHA - I wondered if it was because she would be eligible for citizenship if she wanted it:
Citizenship by Naturalization You can acquire Indian citizenship by naturalization if you have been a resident of India for twelve of the last fourteen years. In addition, you must have spent the twelve months preceding your application in India, without interruption. AndyD 8-)# |
