I have to step outside of my zone of comfort. Only because this is a little outside of my comfort zone. If there is anybody that's able to advise me with what's more feasible. Please reach out to me on messenger. I have less than 60 days to stay the course with my original plan. Or do I have to alternate between the two.

Here's the issue. I am all set for my retirement/move to Thailand late August, early September. The only thing I have left is to apply for my retirement. I recently rearranged my first class flight from Thailand to the Philippines. From the Philippines then to Thailand. Saving me a couple thousand dollars. Now here is my issue and why I need help. The cost of the currency exchange and how hard of a is it going to hit me. My goal is Thailand. I should consider staying in the Philippines because of the what is happening with the US dollar. I am struggling with this decision. Apologize for the lengthy post. Hopefully there is somebody with some sound advice. Thanks

How come when you tell friends you're moving to Thailand they ask if you're nervous and if I told them I'm moving to a European country they'd be fine?

Hi Everyone! Are there any Americans here thinking of moving abroad to be with their partners? Like closing the gap on their international long distance relationship? I'd love to connect with people who have plans to make the move. Big decisions!

Hello, I have a quick question that I am finding difficult to find the answer to. I've sent some emails and called some phone numbers with no success so far.

I am moving to another country that is not my home country in October and they require a national background check from Thailand since I have lived here for over 6 months in the past 5 years. One of the required documents is a, "Letter from the Embassy for Request check to objectives". Does anyone know what this means? Do I need a letter from the Embassy of the country I will be working in or the Thailand embassy? Here is a picture of the requirments I am looking at from the Police Clearence Service Center information page.

If anyone has had to do this before I would love some insight on how the process works, how long it can take and things I should be aware of.

Thank you in advance!!
