-NCB credit report check to make sure things look good

-Need to cancel my Work Permit

-Change tax residence from day one once I arrive at my next location, advantage for me

-Change phone to prepaid

-Cancel insurances

-keep apartment paid for another 3 months before my partner joins me

-Pull two wisdom teeth out as it’s 5x where I’m going

-say goodbyes

Anything missing ???

Thailand likes you to start fresh and pay more money when you arrive . Save cancelled work permit later btw. Consider more countries to ignore Thai mean attitude ,my opinion

That’s something I’ve missed! Thanks mate.

Looks like a hassle to do but I’ll give it a shot, might need some help, to make sure everything’s compliant.
