Your first international move
Ties Jezuit · Edition 14 October 2026

A decision checklist for exploring a move without rushing into a commitment.

[ ] 1. Describe a normal week you want, not only a holiday.

[ ] 2. List what you need for work: income, time zones, connectivity and customers.

[ ] 3. Compare two possible bases and the option of staying where you are.

[ ] 4. Separate tourist entry, residence permission, tax residence and citizenship.

[ ] 5. Ask qualified advisers about obligations in your departure and destination countries.

[ ] 6. Check banking eligibility and truthful address/tax reporting before moving.

[ ] 7. Prepare a realistic budget including travel, documents, insurance and an emergency reserve.

[ ] 8. Plan a research visit before a property purchase or major commitment.

[ ] 9. Record uncertainties, the next three actions and a review date.

This is a preparation aid, not an eligibility decision or personal legal/tax advice. Complete it privately; you do not need to send it back.
