Hi, I am a 33 year old single Indian lady (of Goan origin) looking at settling in Portugal, preferably, one of the cities where I can earn a comfortable salary. I am a communications manager, holding a post graduate certification. What are the job prospects for a corporate communications-related opportunity in Portugal? I want to bring my parents along with me. I don't speak the language but am open to learning it. My mother speaks Portugese fluently. I'm keen on the country because of the culture, work life balance, senior friendly infrastructure and friendly atmosphere.

I am planning to teach in Taiwan and already have my work permit from the school that hired me. Unfortunately, it's a rather arduous process and time is running out. The school is looking for ways to expedite the process for me as am I. I have been informed that it might be possible for the school to apply for the visa there for me and forward the information to the consulate. I want to know if this is possible and if there are any other ways to gain this residence visa. Any advice and tips would be really welcome.

Hello I am a single parent with a 7yr old son from India. I am planning to move to Sweden for at least 3-4 years or even permanently if my work permits. I would like to know how does the education system compare with Indian & to which school(State, Bilingual or International) should I send him to. I would be relocating to Gothenburg.

Would there be any after school care\classes so I am not tensed about my son when I am in office.

I will be moving from the USA to Riyadh, what is monthly rent and any leads for places with a roommate?

Our family is hoping to relocate to Spain for the 2017-2018 academic year with a 9 year old and a 5 year old. Since we will only be there for one year, we want them to learn as much Spanish as possible at school. Sending them to a public school sounds almost impossible since we won't know where we'll be living until the fall. The private schools I've found online seem to teach primarily in English. Can you recommend a good public school downtown that mainly teaches in Spanish?

Hello, I plan to go to Korea next year and I need details on the visa/citizenship/marriage process for a US citizen with a Korean citizen. My plan is to visit first to get myself pre-situated and return to US once before making the final move for Korea. What kind of visa do I need, or do I need one to just visit for a few months? (What is the number of days allowed without a visa?) If I decided to just stay in Korea without returning to the US the first visit, would I be able to apply for visa while in Korea? Or would I have to return to the US and apply?
