#英國生活指南 #VisaDirect 不管是作為英國留學生或來打工度假的遊子們,除了簽證以外,最令人頭痛的應該就是一開始生活費的國際匯款及到當地開戶的煩惱。
回想起我 2016 年準備要來英國留學前,天天都在為錢所困,一來是申辦留學貸款手續繁複,二來是我爸媽都不太會使用銀行的服務,找到適合的國際匯款方式甚至要比簽證還錯綜複雜。大家也都知道,國外盛行的 Paypal 在臺灣沒有全面開放,於是少了這麼一個便捷的國際匯款管道,只能走一般銀行的跨國轉帳服務了。我當時先帶了一小筆現金來到英國,之後得請爸媽將留學貸款撥到我戶頭的錢轉來我英國新開的戶頭,當時英國開戶並不順利,眼看著生活費即將拮据,爸媽在臺灣跑銀行臨櫃辦理匯款後,等了快一個禮拜我才收到錢,差點繳不了我第二個月的房租,真是有驚無險。
後來這幾年定居英國,我副業接接翻譯和寫稿的案子,台灣的廠商和公司當然直接把酬勞匯到我台灣戶頭,每一次從台灣匯款到英國時總得損失不小的手續費,而且匯款方式也相當不方便,國外很多第三方國際匯款服務也不支援新臺幣,經常不知道應該怎麼辦才好。
過了好久好久,經歷了好幾次的國際匯款,損失了不少的林林總總費用,終於等到了一個適用於海外台灣人的全新服務:Visa Direct。
很高興 Visa Direct 是 Visa 這麼可靠的品牌推出新的國際匯款服務,除了手續費低於一般銀行之外,Visa Direct還支援全額到匯,最快 30 分鐘就能到匯。雖然跟一般主流銀行一樣,首次海外匯款前需要臨櫃辦理約定轉帳,但我想Visa Direct的眾多優點已經打敗了傳統銀行的匯款模式了。人還在台灣時就先幫家人設定好,之後以網銀、APP匯款即可,如果國外生活費遇到不小心超支或是需要額外花費時,就可以請家人簡簡單單在家遠距支援。
* Visa Direct國際匯款實際到帳時間依據受款行內部作業與該國法令規定而異,一般為最快30分鐘至兩個工作天內可完成收款。
留學和打工度假期間,是最需要省吃儉用的階段,如果因為匯款到英國而損失大把大把的手續費,那實在滿心痛的,Visa Direct 的手續費最低只要 200 元,是我現在銀行手續費的 3 分之 1,實在很驚人。
Visa Direct 在疫情期間推出這項服務,我想也體恤了不少被困在海外的人,或許臨時沒有了地方住,或許需要一筆錢繳防疫旅館,或許生病急需醫藥費等等,國際匯款小額又方便的 Visa Direct 一定會是跨國匯款的最佳選擇。
#詳細資訊請直接谷歌VisaDirect台灣
#是的是業配感恩Visa
#用不到這服務的看看我蒐集的漂亮銀行也行啦
#另外私心推薦我在英國使用的銀行戶頭

整理得很好
【**川普做了哪些40年來其他總統沒做的事?**】中共就是這幾任包括柯林頓,小布希,歐巴馬給搞到為所欲為,不管川普是否連任,這4年能夠把中共搞到崩潰邊緣,他真的不簡單!
**這裡整理幾點,他做了那些前任總統沒做的事?**
**1. 讓反共成為美國共識:**
* 正式公開承認過去幾十年對中政策的錯誤,並將中國與中共分開,認定中共所領導的中國為「有別於民主」的獨裁國家,視其為「新威權主義」
**2. 讓反共成為民主自由國家共識:**
* 呼籲並整合西方國家,在民主自由與極權暴政之間只能選邊站,價值觀勝過經濟誘因
* 在這次疫情,願意第一個出來講真話,讓我們不用活在指鹿為馬的世界,指出就是因為中共隱匿疫情,造成全球染疫超過千萬,死亡超過50萬人,經濟停擺,損失無可計算,四億多全職工作消失不復返,生活模式改變
* 甚至,他點出了 [#宗教自由](https://www.facebook.com/…/%E5%AE%97%E6%95%99%E8%87%AA%E7%9…),喚醒我們與中共的差別,西方民主國家不要忘記我們的價值觀,行善止惡的重要性
**3. 斷絕中共資金來源:**
* 進行貿易戰,提高關稅,迫使各國紛出走中國
* 提供優惠措施,輔導美企出走中國
* 嚴審中概股,逼迫中企會計公開透明,被迫在自由市場滅頂
* 限制經由香港的資金流動
* 對中國敏感科高科技出口禁令擴展到香港
* 下令美聯邦退休基金撤出中國,禁止用美國公務及老兵的退休基金去投資中國,使其製造武器來威脅美國人/士兵生命,過去幾任總統都是這樣做
* 美國八成假貨來自中港,不但危害智慧產權,消費者安全,更打擊市場公平性,川普對這些產品進行關稅制裁
* 進行《香港自治法》的簽署: 潛在制裁對象還首度包括國際金融機構,可導致中港銀行無法與美國銀行交易、不能使用美元結算,以打擊中港方資金鏈
**4. 斷絕中共技術來源,消滅「中國製造2025」:**
* 抵制中興、華為及與中共及解放軍有關係的中企
* 阻斷中國晶片來源,沒了心臟,所有設備根本出不了中國

**5. 5G:**

* 美憂中國監視及竊盜資料,海纜准通台灣,不准通香港
**6. 印太戰略**
* 美國對中國擴張問題,不再只是內容空泛的抱怨,反而是堅強的執行意志。從新加坡李顯龍公開表示,希望華府不要逼新加坡與東協在美、中兩國選邊,很明顯就是針對美國印太戰略在發言

2. Making Anti-CCP a consensus in the democratic and free nations:
* Appealed the democratic and free nations to stand together against CCP. Western countries is forced by CCP to choose side between persistence in freedom and acceptance of Beijing’s bully tactics, between value and economic incentives.

* At the same time, warned the world that Huawei products will pose a risk to their national securities. Now, the tide is turning against Huawei, many countries have given up using Huawei equipments on their 5G instructure.
* According to CNN, because of using huawei equipments, the Philippines' power grid is under the full control of the Chinese government and could be shut off in time of conflict
* Denied Google to use a direct connection between the US and Hong Kong, due to a significant risk to security

* The United States is deploying unprecedented military power in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, the US military has 375,000 troops deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 28% of the total US military strength, including 60% of naval ships, 55% of the army, and around 66% Marine Forces

* In signed into a law an act authorizing sanctions against Chinese officials over the mass detention and surveillance of Uighur Muslims in China's western Xinjiang province. The new legislation is the most significant action by any country to punish China over its treatment of ethnic minorities.
10. Media:
* In February, require five Chinese state-run media organizations to register their personnel and property with the U.S. government, granting them a designation akin to diplomatic entities.The five organizations affected are Xinhua News Agency; China Global Television Network, previously known as CCTV; China Radio International; the parent company of China Daily newspaper; and the parent company of The People’s Daily newspaper.
