Well, since you are resigning, and would like to contract, do you not think you might have looked into this in a bit of detail beforehand?

Anyway, yes I suspect there is demand. Try some online job sites for contracts with those skills.
It's good see how resourceful people are these days..

There's demand for PHP and there's a massive oversupply of PHP developers all of whom are willing to work for peanuts stretching right across the Asian continent from Vladivostok to the Ural mountains.Comment

Contractors are usually hired to work on projects, that usually kick off at the begining of the financial year of the country (UK April) additional staff maybe added 6 months in, posted on jobs board in Sept.
But you need to have enough money saved in case you don't get a job.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment
