it is still very easy to get a passport. I helped a friend get theirs last month, and more over the years.
don't listen to any of the ignorant comments saying it's difficult to get one; they don't know what they're talking about.
you can do it online or in person at a US Post office.
fill out the application form, takes maybe 20 minutes tops, pay the fee (165$), they take your picture, you will get your passport in the mail in a couple of weeks, it lasts for 10 years, renewable on the go from embassies and consulates.
If you have any questions about passports or traveling, fire away.
A passport costs 165 dollaroos? Damn. And I thought the 70 Euro we have to pay was excessive.
yea, but $16 a year for an instant 50-90% reduced cost of living with guaranteed high-pay employment and no income tax while retaining access to consular services is a pretty good deal.
not as good as 7 bucks a year, but I'm not exactly going to quibble over the extra ten in the face of all the benefits.
What the fuck are you talking about
I think they think that by having a passport you can go work in another country and skip out on taxes?
I don't know where they got that idea but it's hella wrong.
I've been doing it for 15 years, I'm definitely correct.

which part are you confused about?
I tried to make my answers very simple and concise.
which part don't you understand?
These are your assertions:
Are you an illegal border-running English as a Second Language teacher in Cambodia by any chance?
no, those are not my assertions.
it seems that rather than ask clarifying questions, you've extrapolated false conclusions from a base of assumptive ignorance.
not very helpful.
I hate to break it to you then, you are terrible at communicating what your actual assertions are. Because you made those assertions simple and concise. Whatever you imagined you were saying, you didn't. Hence: what the fuck are you talking about?
Sport, I wasn't putting forth assertions.
I'm spitting facts, you made assumptions based on those facts rather than asking for clarification on the parts you didn't understand or are ignorant about.
now you're pretending that your conclusions based on your assumptions are somehow my assertions.
That's your problem.
If you want to just throw a tantrum, continue.
If you want clarification, ask for clarification.
I'm starting to think you mostly don't know what "assertion" means, which is the sort of literacy I expect from the illegal border-running English teachers I met in Cambodia.
I am asking you for clarification, and have done twice now. What the fuck are you talking about? Even the guy from Florida who asserted he wouldn't sleep with any prostitute over 45kg because they were "basically a man" would understand that question.
"I'm starting to think..."
oh good, drawing incorrect conclusions from false assumptions has worked so well for you so far.
"I am asking you for clarification, and have done twice now"
no you haven't.
If we incorrectly pretend ""What the fuck are you talking about?" is a clarifying question, then I have given you a clarifying answer as many times as you have asked it.
you don't have to be so nervous. If you ask a real question, you will get a real answer.
