Exchange Rates
First of all – will you be able to afford living in your intended country? The value of the US dollar will rise or fall depending on where you choose to live. Sites like CNN Money and xe.com have currency converters that will give you a basic idea about the affordability of different countries.
Paperwork
Check with your destination country’s consulate office to make sure you have all necessary documents, including passports, birth certificates, visas and any other identification that may be required for moving.
Downsizing
Moving overseas is expensive, but you can cut costs by cutting down on unnecessary items. Hold a garage sale or donate the extra clothes, books, appliances and electronics you won’t need.
Local Information
Find all of the information you can on the regulations and local schools, stores, services, parks and other notable places in your new country. Your international movers can also help you find information.
Temporary Accommodations
If your home will not be ready immediately, arrange for temporary accommodations in a rental property or hotel.
