Vaccines for expats by Overweight Unicorn
Does anyone have information on the possibility of expats receiving the vaccine in country once it becomes *readily available. It would seem impossible to go back to the UK and return once fully inoculated (currently 12 weeks between jabs) as the ...

no guesses should be allowed on this forum as there's going to be few places left to get facts if you make guesses about the behaviour of immigration officials you do not know and have no inside track to. Only known provable facts on here ... Read More

Banking Regulations for Foreigners Opening New Accounts by OceanBeach92107
Timo banking is not a government authority, however, they have done a good job of quoting and explaining new regulations regarding foreigners (from any country) opening new bank accounts in ...
