So Your Friend Decided to Become a Permanent Tourist? A Hilarious (but Totally Serious...Maybe) Guide to "Un-Friending" Them Internationally
Let's face it, friendships are like fine wine: they get better with age... unless your friend mysteriously forgot how rent works and decides to squat on your couch indefinitely. Or, maybe they have a visa situation that would make even David Copperfield scratch his head. Whatever the reason, your once-delightful companion has morphed into a permanent house guest with questionable immigration status. Fear not, friend-zoner extraordinaire! This guide will equip you with the knowledge (and humor) to navigate this sticky situation.

| How To Get Your Friend Deported |
Step 1: Embrace the Absurdity
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Deporting a friend? Sounds dramatic, doesn't it? Well, fret not! Think of it as a hilarious anecdote for future parties. Imagine regaling your guests with tales of "The Great Sofa Uprising" and your valiant efforts to reclaim your living room. Bonus points if you can mimic your friend's accent while reenacting their excuse for the 17th time they "forgot" to pay rent.
Step 2: The Intervention (Without the Sweaty Palms)
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
Look, grown-up conversations are no fun, but they're necessary. Channel your inner therapist (think air quotes and dramatic head nods) and have a casual chat about... you guessed it, their visa situation. Here are some conversation starters that are sure to break the ice (or at least the awkward silence):
- "Hey, remember that time you swore you weren't living here rent-free? Good times!"
- "So, about that whole 'immigration officer' thing... any updates?"
- "Just curious, but is there a reason your passport seems to be growing cobwebs?"
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
Step 3: Operation "Get Out Clause"

Okay, so maybe gentle nudges aren't working. Time for Operation Get Out Clause. Here are some creative (and perfectly legal) ways to encourage your friend to, ahem, explore new horizons:
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
- The "Homecoming Hero" Strategy: Plan a surprise party in their home country. Blindfold them, whisk them away on a "mystery trip," and voila! Instant homecoming celebration (with slightly confused relatives).
- The "International House-Sitting Hustle" Become an undercover house-sitting matchmaker. Flood your friend's inbox with listings for exotic locations that require "immediate occupancy" (and a suspiciously rent-comparable fee).
- The "Local Tourist Challenge" Turn your city into their own personal travel destination. Drag them to every museum, historical landmark, and overpriced tourist trap known to man. By the end, they'll be begging to escape the "cultural immersion."

Please note that this guide is intended for entertainment purposes only. We strongly advise against following any of these suggestions as they may not be entirely effective (or legal). When in doubt, consult an actual immigration specialist. They'll have way better advice than this satirical article.
Remember: Communication is key! Talk to your friend, figure out a plan, and hopefully, you can maintain your friendship without resorting to international deportation. But hey, if all else fails, at least you'll have a killer story for future parties.
