I retired at 33, since then, I have moved to 9 countries and travelled to more than 60. I have stayed in countries like First World Canada and Switzerland, to developing nations like The Philippines and Lebanon and dangerous ones like Jamaica and Iraq, posing different challenges for my family and me.
So far, 9 countries on 4 continents, moving with my car and household goods. In this channel, I want to teach you all I have learned about moving, living, doing business, and travelling safely.
Okay so if I use a family member's account while they are not present on the vacation, I will receive the same benefits as they do? such as the VIP area etc
I have a question... I am a Us citizen but my passport it's expired, I want to use my british passport to enter the us but I don't not know what to do or if it will work.. I really need your help! I hope to hear a response from you soon!
Hello, you are all good, you can travel and enter the US with your valid UK passport, and since you are US citizen, you are good after entry. So, don't worry.
Hi Mario! I'm preparing my relocation from Canada to China as a foreign passport holder and I've gone through a few of your videos now to learn about international moves! Your content is really helpful to me, and I can't wait to hear about how you get diplomatic immunity. I'm still struggling to find a trustworthy shipping company in Canada, would you be able to recommend some, or let me know what is roughly the cost for a container? Thank you so much
@@MarioStingerPerpetualTraveller Much appreciated! I'm new to the country and moving out after just a year, so I don't have any good referrals from any of my friends. Or any tricks to spot a good and reliable shipping company?
What if you don't have a license plate yet because it's a car that you just bought? Do you just wait to get your license plate in that country and then ship it and replace it with a license plate you get in the new country that you shipped it to?
Hello, you have 2 options in that case at origin, and I have used both. You can tow the car to the port or where it will be loading in the container or what I normally do, get a "transit sticker" that allow you to drive from the dealer for 10 days until you ship the car. I did it in the US and Canada. So, at destination until you get your plate (if they have that option)
Hello Mario, Awesome information, as you mentioned you dont use palettes to keep your items in the container when moving, so what you use to move your items?? Thanks
Hey Mario, how you doing... just what a clarification, what if I got 2 passports but one of the countries doesn't allow dual citizenship, what should I do in this situation, one of the is US citizenship and I am now in the US, Thank you.
Hello, technically and for example if you are Chinese, you are not allowed to have dual citizenship and you should go to the Chinese embassy and give up your citizenship and return your passport because if they find out later, they could be serious consequences or they will just cancel your citizenship. I'm not a lawyer and they are likely 100 answers to that question depending on the country. So, personally, i think you have a choice, if you become a US citizen, you will lose your other citizenship. That's why a lot of my Chinese friends in Canada just remain permanent resident.
You cross the US border with Canadian passport then airlines check in counter as Vietnamese aren’t they going to ask where is your entry stamp on the Vietnamese passport?
No, a majority of countries including US and Canada don't have exit check and if I look at my passport, they stamped it at entry only half of the time, if that. And you have Global Entry or Nexus, you don't even see a border agent at all.
@@MarioStingerPerpetualTraveller When you fly to Vietnam you leave the us with Vietnamese passport so you leave the US as Vietnamese to go to Vietnam but the Canadain is still in the US so when you leave Vietnam to go to the US with Canadain passport aren’t they gonna say you still in the US when did you leave? Because you left to Vietnam as Vietnamese not Canadain
Is there a document I can review regarding rules and regulations for particular duty stations? For instance, I’m hoping for an offer to a E duty station, however I am a Masters student, so I need my laptop with me. So I would like to know if my perspective duty station allows me to bring personal laptop. Thank you in advance for your guidance. And great videos!
Thanks for the video, but im having a problem with content accuracy plus meaure judgment you're using to say good or bad, Im living in the US 16 years now, for me the medical part needs a video by it self to highlight the good, I went to the ER last week was hit with bill close to $12,000 over a fire ant bite, I already called 3 doctors in jordan just for general information total cost 500 for that going through ER. Last but not least, jordan is well known in the region at least in education, despite again the meaures your using. English doesn't really matter, especially if the is before the was or the opposite nor fluency as long as you can deliver thats what actually matters .
Same, the US for some ridiculous reasons doesn't allow people to transit without a US Visa. So, you have to completely clear customs in the US the same way for a transit or if you plan to stay there for 6 months.
This is good information. I tried calling some big container companies who said they don't deal with ship transport of personal nature, only commercial. Is using a freight forwarding company a must, or a private person can call the container company directly such as Hayypag LLoyd or someone like that, and order a container, load it themselves and pay a truck driver to take it to a rail terminal. From Toronto they send it to Montreal to be loaded to the ship. Or is freight forwarding company the only way, maybe because they have some license from government to load and deal with ship transport companies?
Most ship will not take private customers because of the logistic implications. Freight forwading will have software to track goods, deal with truckers etc... And more importantly, procedures and insurance.
I received an email for a finance job in my country G6. I have to do a written assessment. I have no idea what to expect & im so nervous . Also how much G6 salary & benefits . I’m in South Africa
@@karabokgasago7577 Hello. For finance, organization’s budget, Excel skill with pivot tables and at G6, likely no scenarios but you might have a 500 words essay.
Hi All, What is CST Level 2 - Remote Position and Short Term Monthly? Also, I got an assessment link where I have to answer 12 questions in 20 minutes. What type of questions will they ask in the online assessment?
Hello Mario, thank you for the valuable information. I felt really inspired after watching the series. Do you have any videos about the job network and job families defined by the UN? I want to subscribe to the UN talent pool for more information, but I'm confused about which job network and job family I should choose for the most relevant information. I hope to see your reply soon.
Hi Mario. Thank you for the video, really helpful. Just wanted to hear back from you on the following scenario, I passed the competency-based interview with UNICEF like two weeks ago, and they have not got back with any feedback. I did not write an immediate follow up email after the interview and now thinking if it's worth cross-checking with HR on the progress. The post is NO category
Hello, I just purchased the entry level membership. I wanted it to pair with my personal travel business as a means to make more money. Do you have any tips or suggestions? I would really like to make this investment work for me 😊
i did not know this was a timeshare i thot when he was talking this was a proprty i was purching from them and Im 1 year with it alredy and want to cancel do to tht and im not working
Two points…international schools are superb, not sure what your experience was with our education system but our schools consistently perform much better than the international median. I went to school in Jordan and university in the UK, it was a piece of cake in comparison. Not sure what hospital you went to but I’ve never seen anyone smoking at a hospital I do agree on the officials not understanding rules though
I know that ACS is really good, but MAS was not and even the lower school director told me if I could, I should move my kid to other school. The hospital I use to go to was amazing, but Arab Medical Center, I saw a lot of people smoke in the officers. In the government building, it is everywhere. Jordan was better than a lot of other countries I have lived in, but still, that is what I have experienced.
YOU ARE IGNORANT : JORDAN BOWING DOWN TO WESTERN COUNTRIES AND TO USA: THIS IS BECAUSE JORDAN LIVING ON THE AIDS AND SUPPORT TO THE WEST AND AMERICA: YOUR VIDEO DOES NOT REFLECT THE REALITY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TIALKED ABOUT DIPLOMAT ID> : JORDAN WOULD HAVE SEVERE CONCERNS IF YOU TAKE THE MATTER TO UR EMBASSY OR TO COMPLAIN TO ANY FOREIGN AGENCY OR TO UN
I am so grateful to you for this video. I travel in a couple of weeks. I have a 20-hour layover in Doha. I have Platinum privilege and traveling business class, so was wondering about the 6-hour limit. But it is so great to know that the 6-hour limit is for the nap room and not for the whole lounge. I can leave things in the locker and roam around as I please and have the nap room for 6 hours. Quick question - is there a way to dry your clothes after you get into the hot tub? I am wondering if I bring a swimsuit to get into the tub, if there is a way to dry it.
Hi Mario. Thank you for your hard work on this. I would like to know if the G5 (project Assistant - community Mobilization) also would be considered for the post-adjustment in Doha - Qarar, and what is the base salary scale for this position. Thanks again
Yes, G5 positions, like other staff categories, are eligible for post-adjustment. This means that a G5 staff member in Doha, Qatar, will receive a salary that includes the post-adjustment component to reflect the cost of living in Doha. At the moment, looks like Doha is at 50 %, and G5 is at 45,000 USD in NY, so + 50 % would be 67,500$ in Doha + the step adjustment.
Hello Mario! I have applied for the position of Field Security Guard G2 6 months ago. In the "Status" it is still written "under Consideration". How long does reviewing take?
For a G2 post, normally not long 1-2 months because they have budgets and security is core. Maybe there is a problem with the hiring manager. Email HR, nothing to lose at this point
