Passports and Permissions

Changing Residence Status

Inform tax offices of departure and arrival and make sure you are aware of the formalities involved in changing residency or you could face a few fines along the way.

Stay Healthy

You may be moving to a country whereby certain inoculations may be required before the departure. Find out about health insurance plans and the health system that is available overseas.
