Preparing For Entering Another Country For An Extended Period

There are many types of people who enter a country and for many different reasons. It is important to note that before you enter for a long period of time, you have the documents you need and have made the changes in your life that you need to. If you are seeking asylum for example, you must be prepared for asylum interview questions. If you are moving abroad for work, do you have all the necessary visas?

It is important to make sure that we close all the edges tightly and do not leave unresolved issues that may get complicated later.

Accounts and subscriptions

Make sure that all your debts have been settled with the various authorities like the water company, the electricity company, the local authorities and the telephone and internet services. If you have a subscription to various services, remember to cancel them. Once all your accounts have been settled, check with the various parties that your records have been deleted and that it is clear to them that you are no longer in the country.

Details updates

The details of the residence in the credit companies, banks and various investment and savings funds must be updated so that they can contact you.

Sale of objects

Valuables can be left behind without being required. It is therefore advisable to prepare in advance and sell the vehicle if you have one and publish the contents of the apartment for sale. This may greatly facilitate the transition.

Document translation

Moving abroad may require hiring translation services for many documents that may be involved in the relocation process. Have you rented an apartment abroad? To make sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that the contract is acceptable to you and that it does not have any unexpected surprises, it is advisable to turn to professionals who are deeply familiar with the source language and the laws of the country, which will provide a quality legal translation of the contract.

Issuance of passports or residency certificates to the destination country will require the translation of documents such as marriage, birth and identity cards etc. Quality translation services will offer you a translation that will meet the standards of notarized translation if English is not widely spoken or as understood. 

Educational frameworks

If you are moving with a family, it is important that we gather recommendations for good educational frameworks for children that will allow them to adapt well and provide them with a good education and we will make all the preparations for pre-registration.

Insurance and finance

Under no circumstances should the importance of good and comprehensive health insurance be forgotten. This will provide you and your family with protection in any scenario. You must always have insurance in all circumstances and with comprehensive cover in case something unexpected arises.  It is important to invest deep thought into what will be done in your savings and pension funds and make adjustments as required. In any case, it is recommended to open at least a current account at a bank located in the country of origin, in order to make it easier for yourself when it comes to financial management.
