Can someone give me information on how to be an expat

Gary

Assuming you're not wealthy enough to live without a job there are basically two options.

1. Get a job at a company that sends you to another country.
2. Move to another country and get a job.

Either way you are going to need a work permit / permit of stay and the rules for those differ from country to country.
You should also learn the language of the country where you are planning to move.

Wave "bye bye" to everyone

Get on an aeroplane

Arrive in a new country.

Do you need anything more specific to a given country?

Find a country that you would be interested in working in.
Then find out if you can get a visa or work permit.
Search for work.

If all this goes to plan, voila, you are an expat.

Yes bu you need the crispy green folding stuff to get by, hence there may be a need to work.

That's the Orient for you. Bright and shiny with very little substance.
