I believe the answer is:

thailand

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreign country' is the definition.
'Thailand' can be an answer for 'country' (Thailand is an example). I am not sure about the 'foreign' bit.

'new hat i obtain' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'obtain' becomes 'land' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hat' with letters rearranged gives 'tha'.
'tha'+'i'+'land'='THAILAND'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thailand that I've seen before include "SE Asian country" , "Phuket's location" , "Formerly Siam" , "Former Siam" , "Southeast Asian country" .)
