Your channel is criminally undersubscribed mate! Ireally enjoy them uploads as and when they drop! Your fellow expert - from gloomy London - in Doha (Qatar) atm. Best decision I made to move from the UK. My mental heath had plummeted even since I literally checked into my hotel in Doha. It’s been 4 months and Alhamdulillah managed to sign a 1 year contract with a landlord to secure a nice 2 bedroom apartment very close to the famous Souk Al Waqif. I am an ex Goldman Sachs employee, and now work for Doha Bank. Proper chilling here and love it.
The best advice to anyone considering moving abroad is to get your feet on the ground of where ever you want to move to and check it out. I did exactly this 25 years ago when I moved to the Caribbean, where I enjoyed 15 wonderful years before heading to Spain. After 8 years exploring the Iberian peninsula in a series of motorhomes (it's very MH friendly away from the Med coast) I returned to the UK but I'm not staying. I'm 64 and off to check out Thailand and the Philippines next. Once you free yourself of being tied to the bit of the planet where you were born and embrace that the world is your home, there's no looking back. This precious existence we call life is not a dress rehearsal. Every day is opening night, you're the star of your show and all the world is your stage. Get out there and have fun.
👍Cheers Tom great advice but I do read a lot online which puts my situation off and its from the official countries websites too. Gonna take your advice and get out there and speak to the right people. Wish you the best mate.
Me and my wife just literally came back from S.E Asia today and are contemplating moving to Singapore, so great to see this video and your channel has popped up today haha
@TomBirchy first time I travel abroad, I am at the moment in phuket the amount of chicken curry's here is insane do you recommend any other Asian country with beautiful beaches and zero indians ..
Sorry Tom about the other comments. Your video here though really connected with me. Gave me a totally different and new perspective. Like you said: you’re on this earth once. You have one shot and when you’re on your last legs, no one wants any regrets…that has really got me thinking. Travelling gives people so much in terms of personal growth. Thanks for this video look forward to the next! 👏😎👍
Wise words Tom. If you don't try you don't get. Simple. Wish you every endeavour in your new business in Singapore. Stay off the beer, you'll be even more successful.
My partner and I are tentatively thinking about leaving the UK, we was hoping things may get better under the new government but far from it (they've actually made things far worse for my industry!) I have seen opportunities in other countries which do look really appealing. Massive step but It really does feel like a bleak future in a UK that is falling apart. (Just found you channel and subbed so defo be checking out more of your videos)
Its bittersweet seeing so many young ones leaving the UK. Your generation really have no chance in that dump. I was born in Ireland but raised in London, I'm lucky enough to have had the sense to abandon that ship 15 years ago now. I'm considering moving again, this time from Perth to Penang. One of my biggest considerations is my children's education. Once you disclosed you were educated in a Sino-Anglo international school my mind was made up. Any advice on guiding my kids towards ACS scholarships?😂
My school was actually a local school, not international, but was very good. It’s quite famous in Singapore. I only got in through a sporting scholarship, so perhaps make sure the kids are top talent in a particular sport
That's a path that I was on before Brexit upended my applecart. Be aware that actually moving to Finland from the UK is no easy thing these days. The most important thing to note is that your ability to legally remain in Finland will entirely depend upon you obtaining and retaining employment. No job = no visa.
We have friends who left the UK for China 10+ years ago, Beijing and now Shanghai. Their child was born there and is in school now. Obviously there are some fundamental differences to the UK to consider but on the whole they love it there and said it is the safest place they've ever lived! They have no plans to return
Superb advice Tom. Im trying to do youtube travel videos but due to cost of bills i can only really afford to travel probably once every 3 months. Im a welder so not like im earning online. Whats your advice on getting my channel more subs?
I honestly dislike it westerners keep saying Thailand is cheap. It's cheap for you as you earn the so called expat wages, so everything is cheaper as you purchase them in local currency. But for regular thais, it's not cheap as they earn much lesser.
@@amanlimbu6482 your thinking is just dumb. What the UK is doing is allowing anyone in with no means testing and doing it at the expense of everyone else. more people means lower wages and more strain on system not designed for more people NO other country other than western ones are doing this. Thailand protects its people. You cant take a thai persons job. educate yourself instead of running nonsense out your mouth.

@ no 4 season , nobody love winter

thank you mate - good luck

Hey mate how difficult is it to move to Singapore as a Brit? An in depth video into options would be a hit I reckon

Thanks man, that's really kind of you to say
Excellent advice and looking forward to the video explaining what went wrong in Thailand 👍

Singapore isn’t a normal country

No hope under labour. Leave asap.
4:38 So? You can always get new friends and family lol so that doesn't bother me
Great video. Love the SG videos. Keep it up! New sub

@TomBirchy Thanks Tom. I'd still rather pay IS fees than expose them to a school (even Catholic/private) in woke Australia.
It's getting harder for foreigners. OLYMPICS 100m Butterfly Gold Medalist, Singapore's Flying Fish Joseph Schooling was his ACS senior.
I went to a half decent secondary school in London, the only similarity to ACS for me was being one of three white kids 🤣
It would be so cool if you bought a beach buggy in Singapore like the one you had in Leeds
why didn't you checkout Malaysia before you make your decision to start your business.. just curious..
im in the UK and i'm trying to learn Finnish to move to Finland. I think i will get a work permit.

Some actually go china and they love it there, surprises right despite many negativity on the media.

UK is good, main financial district in the world, history is rich, singapore is hot humid and no culture.
Tailand doesn't deserve that.
Carabao, Welcome to Thailand. Tom Tom where you go last night... 🎉
I honestly dislike it westerners keep saying Thailand is cheap. It's cheap for you as you earn the so called expat wages, so everything is cheaper as you purchase them in local currency. But for regular thais, it's not cheap as they earn much lesser.
I find Singapore quite cheap too - want to have a go at me for that too?
Embarrassingly early. I want to move to Australia
Get yourself over there brother 👌
If you're under 35 with a UK passport, apply for a first working holiday visa asap.
What do your parents do?
Stuff
Chat gpt is better than google
Loving the direction the RUclips channel is going in Tom ! Keep dropping value information !!!!
you look like UK people exactly, your shoulder your face your accent, your hair , typical English people
Immigrant complaining about immigration
Some people would rather be an immigrant than feel like an immigrant in their own country
Clown on RUclips crying about others
He isn’t stealing anyones job or being a strain on society numbskull
@ some people have inconsistent values and views and are hypocrites
