Hi Ralph
You have just indicated very clearly, why you disagreed with a particular
poster on Goanet regarding the Portuguese passport. I agree with you
entirely and hope you will get your Portuguese passport soon. I had also
sent you a post on this matter earlier.
I don't know your occupation/profession nor where you are currently resident
but if in Goa/India, and you want to consider emigrating to English speaking
places like Australia/NZ, Canada, USA and even the UK I'd like to suggest
you look up their websites for the kind of skilled labour they currently
need. Your Indian passport is absolutely fine for this and you may get a
lucky break well before your Portuguese passport gets to you. If you get to
one of these countries, you can apply for local citizenship normally after
five years work/residence. Do make a concerted move now as the economies of
the above countries are not doing too badly and all of them have ageing
populations. I can tell you that there is a lot of work available in the UK.
Most of the varied labour working on the 2012 Olympic site is labour from
outside for instance but accommodation is problematic and expensive.
From my general interest re this theme, I'd be happy to provide info about
how to prepare for applying for advertised jobs on websites. I also had two
articles published in the Herald about 20 months ago, informing young Goans
what the prospects were like elsewhere if they badly wanted to leave Goa.
The advantages and disadvantages were spelt out in some detail.
Regards
Cornel DaCosta, London, UK.

Just caught up with Mario Goveia's e-mail. Mr. Goveia wonders why the
Portuguese passport is a superior travel document to the Indian passport.
Here are the facts.
Portuguese passport holders DO NOT require a visa to travel to the major
economic powers including United States, Canada...
