A year abroad is an exciting opportunity to discover new cultures and gain valuable experiences. However, good preparation is crucial for the success of your adventure. At GoMovin, we assist you in making your dream of living abroad a reality. Careful planning helps you avoid potential pitfalls and make the most of your year abroad. It's important to address the necessary steps early on to ensure a stress-free start to your adventure.
Planning and Research
Comprehensive research is the first step towards successfully planning your year abroad. Use various information sources to gain a detailed understanding of your destination country. The Federal Office of Administration provides country-specific information and contact details for advisory services. For the recognition of professional qualifications within the EU, the EU Citizen Service is a valuable resource. When job hunting, the Central Placement Office for International and Skilled Workers (ZAV) and the EURES network can assist you. Additionally, clarify your pension questions with the German Pension Insurance and get information on residence and work permits from the Federal Foreign Office (German Embassies).
Financial Planning
A solid financial plan is essential for a relaxed year abroad. Create a detailed budget where you analyse your income and expenses. Research living costs in your destination country to make realistic assessments. Be sure to include a financial buffer to cover unexpected expenses. Look into credit options and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of loans in your home country. At GoMovin, we help you keep an eye on your finances and support you in planning your budget.
Switzerland, USA & Co.: Trending Destinations
Choosing the right destination country is a crucial factor for the success of your year abroad. Current trends among expatriates show that Switzerland, the USA, and EU countries like Austria, Poland, and the UK are particularly popular. These countries offer attractive job opportunities, a high quality of life and diverse cultural offerings. The reasons for a year abroad are varied: many seek new experiences, want to advance their careers, or live in a partnership abroad.
Popular Destination Countries
The aforementioned countries mainly attract young, highly qualified professionals and childless couples. Switzerland tempts with high salaries and a stable economy, while the USA scores with diverse career opportunities and a dynamic cultural scene. Within the EU, Austria, Poland, and the United Kingdom are very popular because they offer a good balance between quality of life and the job market. It is important to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each country and choose the one that best suits your individual needs and goals.
Purpose of Stay
In addition to the choice of destination country, the purpose of stay also plays an important role in planning your year abroad. Many young people take the opportunity to go abroad as part of a "Working Holiday" programme. These programmes allow you to spend up to 12 months in countries like Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan and Uruguay, taking on temporary jobs. These programmes are generally aimed at young people between the ages of 18 and 30. We at GoMovin are happy to advise you on choosing the right programme and support you in organising your stay.
Checklist for Your Year Abroad: Organisation is Everything
Good organisation is key for a successful year abroad. Before you embark on your journey, there are a few important formalities you should take care of. This includes deregistering in Germany, sorting out insurance matters, and packing your suitcase. At GoMovin, we help you maintain an overview and assist you with all organizational questions. With our checklist, you won't forget any important details and can start your adventure with peace of mind.
Deregistering in Germany
If you're going abroad for an extended period, you must deregister in Germany. Observe the registration requirements and get information from your local council about the specific regulations. Deregistering is important to continue receiving benefits like child allowance or BAföG. We at GoMovin support you with all the necessary formalities and ensure you don't miss any deadlines.
Insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage is essential for your year abroad. Check your existing health insurance and, if necessary, take out international health insurance. Also address social security issues, especially if you plan to work abroad. In the case of a posting within the EU (up to 2 years), continuing insurance in Germany might be possible. At GoMovin, we are happy to advise you on choosing the right insurance and help you navigate the array of options.
Packing List
Packing your suitcase is an important step in preparing for your year abroad. Carefully consider what you really need and avoid unnecessary baggage. The choice between a suitcase and backpack depends on your travel style. A suitcase is suitable for staying at one place (e.g. au pair, student exchange), while a backpack is better for frequent traveling (e.g. work and travel). In your hand luggage, you should carry essential documents like your passport, visa, and flight tickets. Also think about financial means (credit card, cash), an international driving license, insurance details, your vaccination record, medications, and electronics. At GoMovin, we offer valuable tips for packing your suitcase and help you ensure nothing important is forgotten. You can find a detailed packing list here.
Emigrating Temporarily: Less Pressure, More Freedom
A year abroad offers not only the opportunity to experience new cultures but also the chance for personal growth. However, challenges can arise, such as linguistic integration or adapting to a new environment. We at GoMovin support you in overcoming these challenges and optimising the opportunities that a year abroad presents.
Psychological Aspects
Temporary emigration offers psychological benefits by reducing the pressure of location choice. Since it is for a limited period, the decision is easier. For families, a fixed return date can lessen emotional strain, especially for children. We at GoMovin assist you in considering the psychological aspects of your year abroad and help you prepare for potential challenges.
Linguistic Integration
Language skills play a crucial role in social integration in your destination country. Even if you speak English at work, it is important to master the local language to navigate daily life and make connections. Before your trip, take a language course or use online resources to improve your language skills. We at GoMovin support your linguistic preparation for your year abroad and connect you with language schools and tandem partners.
Returning to Germany
Many expatriates return to Germany after some time. The reasons for returning are varied, often with family reasons playing a significant role. Germany benefits from the experiences and networks of returnees. We at GoMovin also assist you in your return to Germany and help you reintegrate into your home country.
Remote Work & Rental Law: Legal Aspects in Focus
When planning your year abroad, you should also consider legal and tax aspects. Particularly if you are working abroad or own property in Germany, there are several things to be aware of. We at GoMovin inform you about the most important legal regulations and help you avoid pitfalls.
Working Abroad
If you wish to work during your year abroad, it is advisable to inform yourself early about the legal and tax implications. Especially with remote work, there are several considerations, even within the EU. Services like remote.com can assist you with the process. We at GoMovin are happy to advise you on all questions regarding working abroad and support you in finding a suitable job.
Tenancy Law
If you own property in Germany, you should inform yourself about the possibilities of temporary letting. This allows you to rent out your property during your year abroad and use it again yourself upon your return. Make sure to conclude a temporary rental agreement to avoid issues with personal use. We at GoMovin support you in renting out your property and help you find a suitable tenant.
Consultation
In legal matters, it is advisable to consult a lawyer. A lawyer can help you uphold your rights and avoid pitfalls. We at GoMovin connect you with experienced lawyers who can advise you on all legal questions regarding your year abroad.
Avoid Cost Traps: Keep Control of Your Budget
An Auslandsjahr (year abroad) is an investment in your future. To ensure that your dream doesn't turn into a nightmare, you should avoid some pitfalls. This includes a realistic assessment of costs, adapting to local culture, and considering possible risks. At GoMovin, we help you avoid these pitfalls and make your year abroad an unforgettable experience.
Financial Risks
Living costs abroad are often underestimated. Therefore, thoroughly research the prices for rent, food, and transportation in your destination country. Also, plan for a financial buffer to cover unexpected expenses. At GoMovin, we assist you in creating a realistic budget and keeping track of your finances.
Cultural Adaptation
Integrating into a new culture can be a challenge. Take the time to get to know the local culture and adapt to customs. Learn the language, connect with locals, and be open to new experiences. At GoMovin, we support you in cultural adaptation and help you feel comfortable in your destination country.
Book Recommendation
If you're interested in a year abroad in Cuba, we recommend the book "Ein Jahr auf Kuba" (A Year in Cuba) by Petra Gabriel. The book offers insights into life on the island but should be approached with caution due to critical reviews.
