You may qualify to enter the DV Lottery...which would allow you to live and work in the US. Australia and Thailand seem to be very popular with Brits. I suggest you take a look down the list of countries in the Living and Moving Abroad forum and take a read through the threads in some of the forums. Also take a look in the BE Wiki...there's loads of information in there. BE is a large expat website...so it's understandable that you may have problems finding your way around our many forums. We have a team of concierges who will direct you around the website. You can find a list of their names at the bottom right hand side of this page. For all other problems or concerns please contact a moderator...their names are located at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index page. Moderators' names are in bold font. Before you post please read any 'sticky' threads or announcements that are posted at the top of each forum's index page. Please give me a shout if you need any help. |

Yep we've got a lot going on here that's for sure and I'm sure you will find lots of tips here. I would suggest the first place to start would be to read through the wiki and then through the posts in the forums you are interested in. That way if you have questions you will have a better idea of what type of questions to ask. So read, read, and read some more first and then get stuck in and post :) Sue |

Welcome & agreed. This site is enormous.
I managed to "get out" of the UK as well, although it will always hold a special place in my heart. I've only made it as far as Germany, but.. baby steps! |

You've mentioned three far away places, is the goal getting as far from the UK as you can? If not, Spain is not that bad.. |
Re: Hello All. I would like to move to warmer & better country help ...
Maybe reading some of the Moving Back to the UK forum to see other perspectives on where you are right now, OP?
It's always better to operate from a position of strength... move toward something you are excited about instead of leaving because you don't like something about where you are. |

Welcome to BE :)
If you check out the wiki and the forum you'll be able to best ask more relevant questions as well as rule certain places out. Have you thought about Uruguay or Paraguay as possibles? Good climate, pretty stable economy, easy to get a visa for etc. |

He didn't say much of himself, but on the face of it, he's 32 and male, if he's single too I kind of get the Thai appeal... :D

Spain is currently having its fair share of battering at the moment with high prices, unemployment and street protests. Also being bailed out doent seem like a healthy option. However, was there recently and I do like Barcelona. |

Always have. Love the mix of cultures, music, food, beach, sun lifestyle appeals to me a great deal. And have a few contacts there so moving and making friends there would be a smoother transition. |

Drop Thailand off the list. It's warm, but as an ex-pat it's not easy to get by unless you have the support of a company or external income. It's not a strong economy either. There is potential for growth, it's just that the Thai government doesn't allow for that.
Malaysia is more stable. Malaysia is a Islamic country not that I have anything against them just think it’s best to stay away from those countries especially right now. |
Re: Hello All. I would like to move to warmer & better country help ...
Think you have your head screwed on re Thailand. It's much easier when you have a Thai relative and our Concierge on there Nonthaburi can enlighten on that.
Your statement re Malaysia is a bit sweeping and needs a little bit of modification. It's a big big country with a great diversity of races and religions. Where I live in Penang, it is majority Chinese racially, the state government is the opposition party DAP which is majority Chinese, and Penang is majority Christian I believe - at least that's what it seems like to me with the number of churches everywhere. Stay away?? Why? Is there something I don't know about. |
