What is a Repatriation Bond? -

My friend is traveling to the US. On the second leg of his trip he was stopped at Amsterdam. They wanted him to buy a Repatriation Bond. What is this? Is this normal? Will he get the money back?

Who are they ? A repatriation bond is a document guaranteeing passage of an individual to a specified location upon completion of contract work or upon suspension of contract work for any reason. Repatriation bonds are guarantees given as inducements to workers who might otherwise be wary of leaving their own country with no assurances that they could return. The scenario you describe is not within the usual definition of a repatriation bond, which makes me very suspicious. To be honest, it sounds like a shakedown to me. I think that the money s gone.

I think there are a lot of details you have left out...It is a pre-payment of travel and health expenses to a third party escrow agent (financial institution) supposedly paid by the employer, hiring over sea workers, to guarantee at the end of an employment contract that the hired person has the funds to return somewhere, (and also that the accepting nation doesn t get stuck with health and travel expenses when they kick someone out of their country)...This should have been arranged and planned with the employer, long before showing up at the airport. This is more of an issue but not exlusive to in some ummm, transits between third world countries....Most big international companies are exempt from this, but it should have been explained to the employee in any event.......Interesting question !!!!!!

Where in Southern Cali, is Up in the Air playing? -

It isnt playing anywhere near me so i was wondering if anyone knew where an Indie theater it might be playing at is?

right now it seems that is only playing in 3 theaters rightnowCentury city landmark (Pico and westwood)archlight (sunset and vine)it will open dec 10 in at paseo pasadenaso it might go into wider release then(I m going to see it tomorrow myself)(century city)

Since you mention being in school that makes you too young to understand the term Cali was originally meant as an insult to California, and it s residents. The only people that use that term are people from other states, Californians like you that weren t born yet when that word began, and West of Encino . It compares California to a drug city in South America and implies that we are all drug addicts, and criminals.. Please abbreviate you states name Cal .
