There are five things I advise my clients to set up prior to moving abroad in order to make the transition much smoother I'm Veronica, and if you ask me how I know these are the things you should do before you move It's because I didn't do any of them before I move and now I know better I teach my clients how to do things better than I did them so that you don't have all of the snaffos that I did when I moved abroad with my family Number one is to pre-order your paperwork. Some of this paperwork takes longer than others depending on the situation And you want to make sure you have your burst certificate your marriage license your divorce decree any adoption paperwork Potentially your vaccination records or transcripts maybe driving records all of these things have different timelines in which you need to order them And then your criminal background check you can't order that too early because it has an expiration date of three or six months Depending on the country that you're dealing with number two is to set up your health insurance Virtually every visa requires you to get some sort of stopgap insurance that that fills the gap between when you are moving there And when you potentially get on their socialized medicine plan So you're going to need to make sure that you have a plan that is going to work for you in that country and fulfills whatever Requirements the most common requirement is repatriation of your body if you were to pass away in that country before you actually get on Their socialized insurance number three is to figure out how you're going to get money from the United States to the new Country so that's going to be setting up a bank account in the new place or using one of the online banks that Operates in the country that you'll be living and make sure that you're doing it with as low of fees as possible Number four is going to be to port your cell phone number over to a company that is not a V O IP I don't even know what that stands for but it means that it's an internet number and not a real cell phone number And that's going to prevent some banking institutions from being able to send that code for the two factor proof To that number so you want to make sure that it's a real cell phone company that you basically have put your phone number on to It's minimal cost so that you're not paying a bunch of money just to be able to log into your accounts back home And number five is going to be to set up a remote virtual mailbox Do not count on friends and family to be checking your mail constantly when who knows how long you're going to be gone There are mail providers that will actually scan your mail deposit checks shred your mail Forward the mail on to you in your new country depending on what it is and those services are pretty reasonable cost in order to make sure that you're able to get those important Documents that you just cannot get any other way than good old snail mail for more details on what to prepare before moving abroad You can check out my nomadic family starter guide, which is linked in my bio That has everything I wish I knew before I took my family up for and left the country for good There's a lot of things that you just don't realize you should have done to prepare before you ever leave
