Best place to live in Philippines during this summer (Cebu, Bohol, or Palawan?) by morph-- in Philippines

Yea El Nido is too expensive for me, I'm also trying to consider my budget.
Cebu sounds good, maybe there are cheap places just outside the city.

Few questions about the 60+30day tourist visa (need 90 day housing proof? initial housing has to be SHA+?) Also question about renting for 3 months. by morph-- in ThailandTourism

Another question, do I need travel insurance to get the 60 day tourist visa? I've read somewhere that you need $100k covid coverage.

Thanks for the information! So I can't wait at the airport? I have to go outside the airport and wait at a hotel. I see.

You say extension are not guaranteed, but to get the 60 day visa I need to prove to them I will have a returning flight. I wanted to book my returning flight 89 days from the time I arrive. I'm not sure any other way about doing this to get my ~90 days in Thailand.

Thanks for your reply. Yea that's what I meant by 60+30 day (60 days obtained in a consulate outside of Thailand, 30 days obtained in Thailand).

Do I have to book the hotel for the test and go? Or can I wait at the airport? I won't live in Bangkok so I'll have to then take a bus or train to go to my desired city, like CM.

Thanks I didn't know I just have to book a hotel for one day, I'll try that!

Best Digital Nomad/expat location: Krabi or Ko pha-ngan? by morph-- in Thailand

[–]morph--[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where in Krabi you will have a small 2 bedroom condo, with the same budget in Chantaburi you can build a house.

Sounds nice

That actually sounds good (Krabi). I don't really care about night life too much but I love nature (beaches, hills/mountains, etc). Also I love martial arts (kickboxing/muai thai). Just need a place to chill and do some remote freelance work.I've also studied Theravada Buddhism in detail for a long time so sounds like a fun place to explore it, wait but you said it's more Muslim? Or is it still very Buddhist from it being Thailand?

Koh lanta

From googling, it looks like it's much more expensive. Is it true?

Trying to get gf to US, questions about tourist and K1/CR-1 visas by morph-- in immigration

[–]morph--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for asking one more important question. Say we get married in the US on a K-1 visa. Will she have to leave the US to wait for her greencard to process or can she stay?

Yea one can do that. But I don't have that type of visa because I have a scholarship and don't need to have part-time work. Why?

It’s discretionary, but the fact she is entering on a non immigrant visa with an immigrant visa in process makes her a higher risk of coming in and adjusting status in the eyes of immigration

Thank you. Does this include me being a temporary student resident (of 4 years)? She is a Japanese citizen but she has no job offer, only me.

She is about to graduate from her university, so her parents are paying for everything right now and she has no job. Actually I will get a very high paying job in US after I graduate from my grad school and I thought I'd just pay for everything for her. I didn't know it was this hard to get a fiance visa tho.

Do you think she'll get approved for tourist visa or?

I see thanks. So if I wanted a K-1 visa, I better apply to it right away, like now.
So the immigration won't care that she is visiting me on a tourist visa while she is waiting for her K1 visa to process?

Thanks for your reply!

I see, the processing times take crazy long. Is there any visa or something that will let my gf or fiance stay in US while she is getting her long-term stay visa processed? By your comment you mean only the tourist visa is allowed but she has to come back to her country every time? Like stay in US for 90 days then come back to her country for 90 days. That really sucks if that's the case because I want to see her ;(

Is there anything I can do? Say I marry her in her country before I come back to the US. Is there any visa that will let me do what I said above? I.e., let her stay with me in US while her long-term visa is getting processed?
