So when not working, I have to have enough money in the bank.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-89519403062963064902019-09-01T21:15:17.399+03:002019-09-01T21:15:17.399+03:00The downside to residency is having to declare inc...The downside to residency is having to declare income. And, it has to be renewed every 5 years. The downside to citizenship is juggling the 2 passports and staying on top of Russian laws.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-47552930268469867592019-08-27T02:16:18.368+03:002019-08-27T02:16:18.368+03:00I miss the updates when you come to the US!I miss the updates when you come to the US!Annie Kitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638369332689401184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-67425938700667150642019-08-09T14:53:30.844+03:002019-08-09T14:53:30.844+03:00Oh that's a lot of paperwork and scheduling to...Oh that's a lot of paperwork and scheduling to be thinking about! I know that I've already started to think about how in the future we'll need to balance our passport renewals for kids with visa applications. And we all have the same citizenship in the USA so that's easy...but we all live in Malaysia and can only continue to do so as long as Angel has a visa-granting job that also provides visas for spouse and children. We've learned a lot through the processes for our visas in China and Malaysia...and every country is different! Paperwork and scheduling trips at the right time seems to remain the same...Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-78508425666071226602019-08-01T04:24:25.041+03:002019-08-01T04:24:25.041+03:00I tend to think I'd pick the thing that would ...I tend to think I'd pick the thing that would cause the least need for paperwork in the years to come.
