Hi, we are thinking of relocating to Malta.  We are uk citizens (born). We are aiming to be permanent in 3-4 years. In the meantime we want to get the process started. What do we need to do eg do we need visas, if so what permanent or residency?. We plan to work as well so will we need ID cards “NI” numbers?. We’re  thinking however of perhaps looking to rent an apartment in the near future on a long let so we can come over whenever until we fully relocated. Can we do that as obviously the property wouldn’t be occupied full-time.

Hi,

I worked in Saudi Arabia for two years and back to India without collecting the NOC and permanent exit. It’s been more than two years now. And now, I got a job offer from Qatar and willing to move there but before applying for visa I want make sure that I will get Qatar visa or not because of no proper exit from Saudi Arabia.

I will be looking for kind help by having suggestions or comments from the experts and experience people here.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Hello,

I'm planning on moving to Houston with the family next year and had a question regarding dogs.  I have two big dogs and wanted to know how dog-friendly the city is.  Can you walk your dogs in places other than designated dog parks? Are there any national parks where you can walk dogs off lead/leash.  Finally, have you moved with your dogs and how have they coped with the heat in summer?  We currently live in the countryside where most dog walks are off lead/leash.

Hi everyone!

My husband and I are possibly moving to Taipei in 2019 and will be bringing our two beloved cats with us. I’m hoping to get some information on what life might be like for them? Are cats liked/tolerated ok in the city? We would be likely living in an expat community, close to friends and colleagues. My cats are my family so I’m hoping they can have a happy life along with us, if we move. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this-any help or info would be greatly appreciated:-). 

Hi, I’m actually a foreign student, but couldn’t find a better online place to ask this question. Can an international student buy a car in South Africa?

My brother was in Vietnam over a decade ago and didn't get to spend around 8 million in these 100,000 notes before he left.



They were forgotten but turned up again recently, so, I took them in case I happened to visit Vietnam.

I arrived at HCMC Airport today and, when trying to buy a bus ticket to the airport, was disappointed to be told that those notes are no longer valid.

Would anyone know if there any mechanism to exchange old Vietnamese notes, as the Bank of England does in the UK?

In 2018, is it safe for homosexual and transgender people to live there ? Do you think things are changing ? I recently heard some people saying it’s very safe and laws have changed, and some outdated articles says it’s illegal (I can’t find a recent one), so I don’t really know...

Hello,

Looking to move to Phnom Penh in the coming months. What is the process like for expats to enter the work force once they have arrived in Cambodia. Is there a job market available once a work visa has been attained?

Hi,

I am having a discussion with an IT Company regarding an opening in Frankfurt/ Eschborn. I need to tell my salary expectations to HR. I am from India and and am unfamiliar with the living conditions in Germany.

I will be moving with my husband and 7 year old daughter. I read in multiple websites that accomodation and schooling is very costly in Germany. 

Can you people help me with an approximate figure to quote? I will be taking up the position of Scrum Master which is a managerial role.

What is the average salary for such a role in Frankfurt?

Hi! I've got a job near Centrale and have found a lovely room at an affordable price in Via Fratelli Lumière. I wanted to know whether or not the area is safe, as I am a young woman and I know sometimes stations aren't the best places. The apartment is lovely and is 10 minutes walking from work so I'm very tempted! Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am moving from Australia to Frankfurt in the next couple of months with my family (husband and 3 kids) and we were after some guidance with schooling. The international schools are a bit out of our price range and were wondering what the other options were for a 3 and 5 year old. Are the public primary school zoned like they are in Australia? Also, how to the bilingual schools work? We are currently looking at the surrounding areas for living rather than in the CBD but any thoughts on that would be much appreciated also.

Thanks.
