MEET OUR EXPAT CONSULTANTS

Hi, I'm

Eric Zhang — Expat Expert | 3 Countries, 14 Destinations

As a Chinese Canadian now based in Bangkok, Thailand, I bring a rare dual perspective to expat consulting — having navigated the journey from East to West in my childhood, and from North America back to Asia as an adult. That lived experience across cultures, continents, and life stages is exactly what I bring to every consultation.

I've traveled to 14 different countries and enjoy learning about the world! I'm able to speak English and Mandarin Chinese fluently, and dabble in a few other languages like Thai, Cantonese, and Korean.

This gives me the cultural and linguistic range to connect meaningfully with people from diverse backgrounds.

What I help with:

My expertise spans the full expat journey: From the exciting first steps to the practical long-term decisions. I have hands-on experience helping others settle into life in Canada, and I'm deeply embedded in expat communities across Asia, keeping me current on visas, cost of living, lifestyle adjustments, and long-term planning in Thailand and beyond. I'm also well-versed in the highly sought-after 5-Year Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) — one of the most popular topics among those considering a move to Southeast Asia.

With a professional background in IT, fintech, SaaS, and online English teaching (ESL & IELTS), I'm especially well-positioned to help you explore remote work opportunities that can sustain your life abroad financially.

Thinking about China?

Interest in China is surging — and for good reason. From rich history and breathtaking nature to vibrant modern cities, it offers incredible value and a truly unique cultural experience. I've visited China four times, most recently in 2025, and spent a total of 11 years living there. Whether you're planning a short trip or considering a longer stay, I can offer insight that goes far beyond what you'll find online.

You'll leave our call with clarity, confidence, and a concrete direction forward.
