Question
what bank can do if I will stop paying for a credit card, and move out to another country, Is there any way that they will looking for me?

Answer
I do not know international law but I believe they can come after you if they choose. The question is how big is the debt? and do you expect to be able to pay at some point. I don't condone skipping out on debt only avoiding harassment and other serious collection activity. If you want to avoid problems down the road find a way to pay it. You can pretty much dictate terms in this situation but you may want to negotiate with them once you get settled where you are going. Try to do the right thing.
