Things to consider when relocating - Ask yourself these questions:
Do I have…?
- Money to purchase flight tickets

- Money to cover my expenses until my first pay day
- A passport, identification and utility bills from where I am leaving to use in my new country to set up bank, bills etc.
- Medical certificates
- Relevant Visa/ work permission
- Copy of education achievements/ certificates
- References – employer/ professional and personal
- Emergency contact details
- A master plan!
Our "Working Abroad” section details information about each Country (political, economic & geographic) as well as tips on how to set up bank accounts, social security numbers etc.
Working abroad to gain a new language, international work experience or to improve your chance of career development is a positive step. It is something that is best planned carefully.
The majority of our customers offer permanent contracts that are a minimum of 12 months duration. Companies may offer flights, accommodation and assistance settling in but this is not the case with all locations/employers.
