I have worked in many foreign countries and I am currently working in
Thailand. Here is my experience:
1. the European thing used to work well but they have tightened this
up, so this may not be possible anymore. I was born in Germany but even
for me it is difficult to get a EU passport now.
2. Don't try to compete with locals because the wages are very low, so
doing manual labor is out.
3. In many countries you can teach english. Many times they have a lot
of local english teachers but they all speak english with a local
accent, so they are looking for native english speakers. If you go to
english schools they may hire you. My daughter taught english in Taiwan
through the YMCA. She had many private business men who wanted to
practice their english.
4. If you are a diving instructor, many dive places are looking for
dive instructors who can speak english.
