Cleverly choose your destination country: Criteria for your decision
Choosing the Right Country
Choosing the right country is a crucial step in planning your emigration. There are many factors to consider to ensure that your new home meets your needs and expectations. Especially for Germans, visa-free entry is an important aspect. Countries that allow this significantly ease the move. Additionally, the economic stability and career opportunities in the destination country are of great importance. Pay attention to a good work-life balance and a high quality healthcare system. Finally, living costs play an essential role in your decision. A country with lower living costs can give you financial flexibility and make your new start easier. The list of popular emigration destinations can provide you with some initial pointers.
Popular Emigration Destinations and Their Pros and Cons
Some countries are particularly popular among emigrants. Portugal, for example, increasingly offers contract jobs, which is an attractive option for many. In Latin America, Spanish skills are beneficial for quickly integrating and succeeding professionally. On the other hand, Singapore requires good English skills, but it also offers excellent career prospects and a high quality of life. Each of these countries has its own pros and cons, which you should weigh carefully. It is important that you consider your personal preferences and needs to find the right emigration destination for you. GoMovin supports you in planning your move and helps you make the right decision.
Financial Planning
A solid financial plan is crucial for a successful emigration. Create a detailed emigration budget that takes all costs into account: from moving expenses and living costs to unexpected expenses. It is advisable to plan a financial buffer to cover unforeseen costs. Find out about the living costs in your destination country and compare them with your current expenses. Also consider the costs for visas, residence permits, and insurance. Thorough financial planning provides you with security and helps avoid financial pitfalls.
Bureaucracy in Check: How to Master the Formalities
De-registration in Switzerland
If you are emigrating from Switzerland, you need to follow some important steps. If you stay longer than three months, you must de-register with your local municipality. This involves handing in your certificate of origin and registering within 90 days with the Swiss representation abroad. These steps are essential to maintain your rights and obligations as a Swiss citizen overseas. Failing to de-register may lead to complications with passport issuance, marriage, or other crucial formalities. Therefore, it is advisable to inform yourself early about the necessary steps and carry them out diligently. The FDFA information provides you with a comprehensive overview.
Visas and Residence Permits
Applying for visas and residence permits can be a lengthy and complicated process. Processing times can range from 3 months to 2 years, and costs can run into several hundred Swiss francs. It is important to note that tourist visas usually cannot be converted into work permits. If you wish to work abroad, you will usually need to apply for a separate work visa. Make sure to research the specific requirements of your destination country early and allow enough time for the application process. GoMovin assists you with visa applications and helps you gather all necessary documents.
Customs Regulations and Import of Goods
When moving abroad, you must also consider customs regulations. For exporting your personal belongings, you will need an inventory list. Cash amounts over €10,000 must be declared upon entry and exit in EU countries. It is advisable to familiarise yourself with the specific customs regulations of your destination country early to avoid unpleasant surprises. GoMovin provides comprehensive advice on all customs-related issues and supports you in preparing the necessary documents. With our help, emigrating is made easy.
Career Abroad: How to Find the Right Job
Job Search and Application
Searching for jobs abroad requires a strategic approach. Use online job boards and networks to find vacancies. Ensure your application documents are tailored to the respective national standards. Be mindful of cultural differences when crafting your CV and cover letter. It's advisable to research the customs in the target country in advance and adapt your application accordingly. GoMovin supports you in your job search and offers valuable tips for your application.
Language Skills and Cultural Adaptation
Language skills are the key to successful integration in your new home. In Latin America, Spanish skills are advantageous, while in Singapore, good English skills are essential. Invest in language courses and cultural training to prepare optimally for your new life. Being able to communicate in the local language not only eases the job search but also daily life and social interactions. GoMovin offers language courses and cultural training to ease your transition.
Recognition of Qualifications
Research early about the recognition of your professional qualifications in the destination country. The requirements can vary depending on the country and profession. Contact the relevant authorities and institutions to find out about the necessary steps. In some cases, it might be required to take additional exams or attend courses to have your qualifications recognized. GoMovin supports you in the recognition of your qualifications and helps you compile all necessary documents.
Secure in Old Age: How Social Insurance Works
Social Security Abroad
When you emigrate, you typically lose your comprehensive Swiss social security coverage. Therefore, it is important to inform yourself early about the social security systems in your destination country. Depending on the country, you may need to either join the state system or take out private health insurance. Ensure that you have sufficient coverage to receive medical care in case of illness or accidents. GoMovin is happy to advise you on all questions regarding social security abroad.
Pension Provision and Entitlements
Emigration can impact your pension provision and entitlements. Gaps in contributions to AHV/IV can lead to a reduction in your pension. If you emigrate outside the EU/EFTA, you can voluntarily insure yourself with the AHV/IV, provided you have been insured for at least five years beforehand. It is advisable to inform yourself early about the impact of your emigration on your pension entitlements and, if necessary, to take measures to secure your pension provision. GoMovin supports you in planning your pension provision abroad.
Occupational Pension (BVG)
Your occupational pension (BVG) cannot simply be paid out in cash when you move to an EU/EFTA state. Instead, the money must be parked in a vested benefits account or policy. Get informed about your entitlements to unemployment benefits. Contribution periods in EU/EFTA states may be credited under certain circumstances. GoMovin is happy to advise you on all questions regarding occupational pension abroad and helps you find the best solution for your individual situation. With GoMovin, emigrating is made easy.

GoMovin offers language courses and cultural training to ease your transition.

Pay attention to the location, infrastructure, and proximity to your workplace or other important facilities. GoMovin supports you in your search for accommodation and helps you find your new home.
Gesundheit und medizinische Versorgung
Gather information about access to the healthcare system in your destination country. Clarify questions regarding health insurance and medical care. Inquire about necessary vaccinations and health checks. It is advisable to become informed about the medical care in your new home to be well-prepared in case of need. GoMovin is happy to advise you on all questions regarding medical care abroad.
Avoiding Mistakes: How to Achieve a Smooth Emigration
Inadequate Planning
Inadequate planning is one of the most common mistakes when emigrating. Assess your time and financial resources realistically. Create checklists and prioritise your tasks.
