    How would someone with zero savings move to another country? Most have every barriers of highly skilled, unfilled professions. Like who move from extremely underprivileged nations to extremely wealthy nations often end up surrendering passport and other critical documents to their employers and end up severely mentally and physically abused, sexually abused, trafficked. How would an older person even pay for required documents, let alone a living space, food, utilities, especially being monolingual?

        “How would an older person even pay for required documents, let alone a living space, food, utilities, especially being monolingual?” can you clarify this question?

        Of course! My apologies, I just meant with the physical challenges, bursitis, arthritis, failing eyesight, etc.

        Thanks so much for your answers. I appreciate them.

            Thanks. I’m not partial or full retirement age yet and I don’t take any medications beyond aspirin or paracetamol. I’m supposed to, but I don’t have funds for that or insurance either, right now. A lot of the meds I’m okay without anyway, afaict. But this is information I’ll definitely look into. I’m okay being outside the city as long as I can get there or get what I need. I assume public transportation might be available, outside city or suburbs?

            Have you ever been to Laos, Cuba or Vietnam? Can you please tell me a bit about any of those you’ve visited? Thanks.
