My answer to this is NO, this couple who abided by all the rules, purchased a
house, renovated it (& the land attached to it, I believe was a "garden") but
then after EIGHT years were told they would no longer qualify for this 5-year
rolling visa, but instead be offered 6-monthly visas & their house would be
confiscated & then auctioned off.
My answer to this remains NO, they have not been treated well, at all.
But I would also not feel bitter towards the Goans who live & work, own
property & businesses in the UK as this is NOT their fault & ask this couple to
please refrain from starting anything that may well cause racial tension here.
Its the politicians and the law-makers, corrupt or not, that are responsible
for this debacle, not the man in the street, (or woman) of any colour, creed
(or "status")...................
Whilst writing I would also like to mention that Barnabe has asked that we do
not use this subject line, I feel he is offended by the title, I tend to agree
with him, perhaps a different subject line ought to be introduced, this one has
been done to death, I hope......

thanks the photos from Rajan and JoeGoaUk. I would like to know if those who
are critical of the expat investment in Goa, and that includes FN, Floriano and
Jane Rodrigues, have read Michelle Savage's article. Also, could they please
let us know if they feel that she
is being treated fairly. A straightforward yes or no please! George Pinto has
obviously read the letter but does not answer the question. Nor is he able to
recognise rhetoric.
To read the Michelle Savage letter see
http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=3950&cid=13
- it is the last letter on the page.
For the original Goa has become a Toilet post see

Is the confiscation of properties by the Goa Government moral? legal?
