Sounds like a high price for an extension, I will ask a friend's son what he thinks is reasonable. He did my SRRV and my wife's citizenship for P10k and that included a bust with the my 13a visa due to wife being divorced. When do you need extension to start from. Shall PM feedback

Thanks Stokkevn

19th March is the expiry date of my tourist visa. I omitted to mention that the first agents quote of 70k included two months charges and penalties. The second quote of 25k was the agents fees only.

It could be worse,P11.

Look at the mess Mr Holger Solager from Denmark has got himself into...His "Lovely Lady" and her equally "Lovely" family have taken all of his money,and he was stranded,penniless,during this pandemic in the Filis (as of October '20)..I wonder if he managed to make his way home.?

Sadly there are plenty of these cases where guys come over with cash in the pockets and hope in their hearts and the first one that smiles at them, gets to partake in the feast ....the feast that keeps on giving until said freshly arrived fellow has no more funds and then hes cast aside.
I dont post this in reference to Phil11 as he says he knew his blushing bigamist bitch bride for a long while before visiting these shores.....and with the aforementioned BritGrit he may yet survive.
But these fellows that just dont budget properly , that throw caution to the wind, that always says "theirs is different"... makes one wonder for the sanity of some people.
And the sad truth, if that if these previously pennielsss paupers came into pera ( money) they might just get on a plane over here and try to build back better.
Gents.. it aint going to be better till you learn both a lot more about this country and how to handle yourself in this country.

Depends if you consider 8 months of internet chatting where she may or may not have been lying and where inside a couple of months was telling him he needed to buy her x y and z as 'knowing someone for a long while'.

There is a commonly used narrative or perhaps wise words of advice almost every expat is aware of. don't invest more than your prepared to walk away from.......Surprised you omitted this,

Raking the coals again. You have omitted the time when I had our house refurbished and I put her in charge of the spending. I was overseeing. Many times she rebuked the workers (family) for not producing receipts. Especially her father. She always made them go back for receipts. She also sacked one of the family for dragging out jobs so that they can earn more. That was not scamming. Furthermore, you forget that asking for money for family is a cultural norm here. As I have said the real scamming, deceit and lies came during the last year I was with her.

Oh P11. You are forgetting... the one thing a scammer hates the most is being scammed herself. This hard line looked street smart to you - the reality is that she didn't want anyone else eating her cake.

Sorry to rain on your parade Millhouse but it was me paying .... not her.. Besides...I don't think you were there to make those assumptions.. Perhaps you can explain to me why she sacked one of her relatives which causes a great furore within the family as you seem to know better than me. I await your reply . But go on.... keep raking the coals to try and make a point.

Yes and no ...when I was married my wifes family asked for money once and once only ( in 18 years ) and after the emergency was over they paid it back, in full.
In my current situation, I happily donate some money now and again but its by choice , not because im asked to.
Yes in many situations it is the norm.And yes no one seems shy to ask for a favour or a loan , which will never be repaid. Certainly Ive been lucky but I wouldnt describe it as a cultural norm, although in your sutuation it became a norm.
There are some very well off people in this country and Im sure they have never ever asked for any money.

In my situation and most others...it is the norm. Maybe we are talking in different social circles.

In ALL social circles over there MONEY seems to the cause of many problems.....look at the trouble the Marcos family caused,and all because they took a little bit of public money just for some extra bread and milk...

Raking coals? No, simply stating facts that you yourself posted. The rest is irrelevant to the sentence quoted and I'm unsure why you think I should have mentioned it.
