@Will *********

leave the country and start over or employ an agent. I’m also someone who loses track of time, so I put reminders in my phone for EVERYTHING. I highly recommend it. For something like this, I’m neurotic and enter multiple. Best of luck.

I hope all works out for you. I plan to initially live in Thailand but may eventually move to Cambodia or another nearby nation. If so, I’ll need to go to Thailand monthly for medical treatment and will be in a similar boat.
