Requirements are constantly changing (all over the world) so please, if you’re hoping to visit Thailand, check https://tp.consular.go.th/ for the latest information.

What Should I Not Forget to Do Before Leaving for Singapore?
We have had to overcome our first hiccup. Turns out all four of us were supposed to have medical clearance before entering the country to include a tuberculosis (TB) test and bloodwork.

There is so little with this move that is currently within our control that we may have jumped the gun on the few things that are in our control.
