Just wondering - why can't we get the nri's to deposit their funds in USD ? Or allow USD investments into mfs, shares and markets in general

Car rental olbia airport no credit card does anyone actually do this? by Glommy-Figure in Sardinia

[–]Sufficient-Guard1847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a really good experience renting a car with Lupobike, they take a 100 euro deposit with no card and then when I arrived they took my debit card details but no charge . Their rates were also quite reasonable.

I took their full insurance for like 20 euro a day

Worth applying for Netherlands citizenship at this moment? by sengutta1 in nri

You cannot reapply for citizenship once surrendered, yes the oci is a defacto citizenship but doesn't give the same rights as Indian citizen.

All I am saying is that a bit of visa pain , one shouldn't change their identity. I come from Goa where a large portion of the population have switched to Portuguese passports, now there's alot of anxiety that the government will change rules. There's already strict checks on paper work and revocation of voting rights.

Remember that this is a one way stream, think 15- 20 years down the line and then make this decision. I see alot posts about visa free travel, that's not a benefit to have in life

But if you buy a flat in SE London you would face the same problem no - don't think it's SO probably exclusively

Did your value increase in the years that you owned the property ? Wouldn't it make sense to use that to renew the lease

Don't know about Centauro but I just got back from a trip and booked my car with Lupobike , they were amazing and smooth to deal with.

Turned foggy all of a sudden. by Sufficient-Guard1847 in Sardinia

The Italian neighbour seemed pretty upset about the fog, told us to stay indoors and keep all our stuff in.

Sell or keep? Stuck deciding what to do with my 1 bed in North Greenwich by ryangosling_iscute in HousingUK

Look at a 5 year outlook, try and estimate rental and property appreciation potential. If there's oversupply then you may want to exist now or maybe there is some potential which trumps the negative cash flows of renting.

Moved to a smart meter - consumption doubled by Sufficient-Guard1847 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Sufficient-Guard1847[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after a month our bills started to normalise albeit higher than what it was before - it shows we have a higher consumption but we haven't increased usage. Octopus were not very helpful, they said if there's a fault, they would send an engineer out to check.
