    Indonesia rejecting worn passports.

    If you applied for the ticket using one citizenship and passport number and then changed to another at check-in I would be surprised if the airline would permit that. The first thing they ask, when at the check-in counter, is for your passport and flight number.

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    Of course it will but the revenue from that is chicken-shit compared to the wealth fat-cat individuals and Companies were sitting on, undeclared, in secret accounts world-wide. I'll be interested if some of the countries that didn't sign the CRS agreement are planning to get in the game...if...

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    Isn't that what I have said? How better to achieve that than to open up the banking system and get rid of its secrecy laws and also so Gov't to Gov't can ensure that they aren't being used as avenues for money-laundering and tax evasion. Your initial point in post # 20 I asked you to...

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    It isn't a matter that is for debate. All countries have tax laws and some have reciprocal laws to prevent double-taxation. It is up to the individual working outside his own country to determine those laws and how they may apply to him/her. This has been the case for many, many years.. The CRS...

    Edward can talk for himself...this forum is well moderated.....we don't need any quasi-moderation.

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    Although the Australian banks banks are complying with the CRS requirements I can assure the UK, and others, have been doing this for about a year so nothing new...except to Australian bank clients. At the local level it is common knowledge that Indonesians have been storing cash and other...

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    You may have started the thread but in NO way did I respond to you so better read before you utter and quote me. My response (#21), by using the reply function, was clearly to Edward. edit: The CRS reporting system is a follow-on and similar to the USA FATCA system which has been in existence...

    11 Heroic Tips for Using Southeast Asia's 'Bum Guns'

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    I haven't missed the point but you are bringing up an argument you need to substantiate. No Government is going to hand over to any other government ALL details of their tax payers info...the CRS is there to permit a government to request tax info from another government if there is suspicion...

    The Common Reporting Standard For Taxation

    This CRS reporting between banks, financial institutions and governments all sounds like Big Brother but the reality is it defends the banks from being persecuted that they may be co-conspirators in money laundering from nefarious deeds like drugs, human smuggling, oligarch stored stolen money...

    Latest Trump success.

    The commission by the Republicans to find out if Trump was correct that there was substantial voter fraud in the 2016 election, has come up with nothing..... "The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread...

    Is it mine eyes only or is Melania hugging Pence...maybe guaranteeing herself a room in the WH after mid-term elections or pleading..."Please, please Mike.... release me from my penance!

    Living in Two Countries - Pros & Cons

    Strangely I've never seen a horse in the Valley of the Sun...and the real desert from where I used to live was many hours by car...somewhere between Phoenix and Las Vegas or Palm Springs. There are areas within the Valley that are preserved so tourists can get an idea of the Sonoran desert...

    Living in Two Countries - Pros & Cons

    Depends on which part of USA and Indonesia one wishes to split their time... i.e. If I lived in Scottsdale AZ. and Bali ID. it would be Oct-Mar in Scottsdale and Apr-Sep in Bali. Right now the Bali weather could not be more beautiful...low humidity, mainly sunny with some sprinkles like...

    Latest Trump success.

    btw what is MSM?......For those who may not understand it is best to, at least once, say what an acronym means. Once again Asun you write with 'evidence' of political bias from a blogger well-known for political bias. Your link is to an Op-Ed piece written by Laura Hollis (A conservative...

    Aviation info.

    1.That's true, including Russia, but I try to keep explanations simple. The metres are converted from feet. Western built aircraft altimeters are in feet. 2. I flew for CX for 16 years and my wife was a Flight Attendant for 10 years. We both get retiree travel benefits for life.

    Latest Trump success.

    The only person that said the Trump campaign was spied on was Trump himself. The FBI, other investigators and many members of Congress, found that conclusion false and was debunked. Even Marco Rubio, a Republican and Presidential candidate, who is on the Foreign Relations and Intelligence...

    Latest Trump success.

    I watched a repeat yesterday and agree it is enlightening. This Putin is one of the shrewdest and evil men on the planet since Hitler...and we haven't seen the end-game yet. I'm always wary of documentaries that may just be propaganda for one side but the actual evidence and co-incidence...

    hard way to know a new airline, Eurowings

    There are rules, as many here have mentioned, where compensation is determined on delayed flights in EU.. My point was more to why you were transferred to a budget airline. I find it hard to believe that Lufthansa would/could do that without your precise acceptance. Are you sure they didn't...
