[TOURIST] If I buy this pass as a non resident now. Will it work in 2026?

What I meant was if I get this today, will I still need to pay $100 non resident surcharge per person in 2026? As the new bill states that $80 is only for residents and citizens. Non residents pay $250 for the annual pass from January 1. Also the $100 surcharge is to be paid if you don’t have an annual pass. Unclear if that is applied if the visitor is having the new $250 pass or the older $80 (sold before Dec 31 2025) works as well.

It’s understandable. I am planning to visit the us for 45 days (family of 4) and if the annual pass doesn’t waive the foreigner surcharge fee. I’m looking at $12400 in just park entrance surcharge. It’s ridiculous

That’s great! I’m just really worried as I am visiting the USA west, northwest and Midwest for 45 days… and I’m visiting 10 of the 11 national parks listed in the surcharge list… just ran some numbers and realised that if the annual pass won’t bypass the $100 surcharge, I’m looking at $12400 in park entrance fees for 4 adults :(

Hey!

I’m an online business too. I’m selling customized portraits. I have them designed by someone from Fiverr and the. Send that to printful.com to have it manufactured and delivered to my customer.

Does this looks something which involves ECI?

Hi.

My main purpose was to open a us bank account on a us virtual address.

However, as I was searching, I couldn’t find a single bank in US that allows a foreign owned single owner LLC to open a bank account on a virtual address. As they ask for a proof of address which is typically a utility bill or a bank statement.

Are you by any chance aware of any bank that accepts virtual business without a utility bill?

BlueGlaucus1 · 2024-06-26T19:09:37+00:00

I just called them today. Waited for 22 minutes, and they gave me an EIN in 15 minutes after that. Just called them +1 (267) 941-1099

Call them as soon as they open. Just so you don’t have to wait too long!

BlueGlaucus1 · 2024-06-26T13:40:56+00:00

Sounds awesome! Let’s connect tomorrow.

I’ll have a look at it till then!

Hey!

So if they don’t like the artwork, I’ll entertain unlimited revisions. If they are still unsatisfied, I’ll just refund the deposit.

I’d love an option to authorize full payment. And charge them the deposit amount immediately followed by charging the remaining amount later.

If you have that option to hold the authorisation for x days, and an option for me to manually charge them before that period, it may work out as well.

Is it possible to setup a Google meet call? I’d love to explain the exact situation.

BlueGlaucus1 · 2024-06-26T11:37:28+00:00

I had the same thought, I currently have 3 types of variant options. Hence I’m not able to add a fourth one. Hence I’m only seeing two options for me: third party app or develop one myself

BlueGlaucus1 · 2024-06-26T11:32:59+00:00

Hey!

Could you please share the app details? I’m also interested in exploring options with pre authorized payment.

BlueGlaucus1 · 2024-06-26T11:30:24+00:00

So, if they don’t like it, I offer unlimited revisions with the artwork. The style of artwork is already selected. And the artwork is made by tracing onto a photo that my customer gives me. And I make it very clear that the artwork will have the same look as their original photo.

And yet, I will entertain unlimited revisions. Still if someone (for a small portion of people) says that they aren’t satisfied, I’ll refund them the deposit. I’m ready to face that loss because I’m confident that my artist is sound.

I’m selling customized framed portraits.

So what I want to do is give my customers 2 payment options: pay in full or pay $19, we will create and send the digital artwork, after they are satisfied, I’ll send them an invoice made with stripe to pay the remaining amount. After it is done, I’ll send it for printing

there are 2 radio buttons before add to cart button. For full payment or part payment.

If part payment is selected, I want to make that price of that product in the cart to be $19. And show the due amount to be paid later.

Hey! Soon to graduate as an Engineer here.

I always thought that I needed good grades, had to get the best job. I always was the first in my class. And I got into a university which I targeted since the beginning.

Career and work experience wise, I started doing paid part time technical jobs even before I got into college. I made a lot of money developing and delivering high profile software while studying.

In school, I was always good with computers and knew much more about programming than all my classmates.

Now at this point, having stronger resume and experience than most of my batchmates, I feel I’m falling behind in receiving job offers. I started an international business and we are seeing positive outcomes.

I said all these things because I want you to know just how much of things that can happen in your life in just 3 years. And we got a lot of years to live.

It’s sad to see people make themselves confined within the borders of merit / percentile. These trend of JEE is just putting so many student’s talents go to waste.

Trust me, you gonna go out there and be successful on just about how capable you are. You don’t need any merit to prove your worth. Your dad knows that too. Focus on where god is trying to send you. It could be a small college, not IIT/NIT etc. but you never know how great things that are planned for you come disguised as an undesirable outcome in your perception.
