What does "Temporary Emigration" mean?
Definition and Distinction
What is "Temporary Emigration"?
Are you dreaming of living abroad but unsure if a permanent move is right for you? The concept of "Temporary Emigration" offers you the chance to gain international experience without burning all your bridges behind you. This involves a temporary relocation of your primary residence abroad, where there is a clear time limit established from the outset. Unlike traditional, permanent emigration, where you settle permanently in another country, with "Temporary Emigration", you plan your return to Germany from the beginning.
Differences from Traditional Emigration
The main difference from traditional emigration is the reduced psychological burden. Because the move is only temporary, the decision is often easier to make. Deciding on the destination country and long-term commitments is also simplified, as you are not making a permanent commitment. The framing as a non-permanent move can significantly reduce pressure.
Advantages of Temporary Emigration
Professional and Personal Development
A temporary stay abroad offers numerous advantages for your professional and personal development. You can improve your language skills, broaden your professional horizons, and acquire valuable intercultural competencies. Moreover, living in a new environment enhances your personal development by gaining new experiences and expanding your perspectives. Working abroad for a limited time can significantly boost your career prospects.
Flexibility and Risk Minimisation
"Temporary Emigration" serves as an ideal trial phase if you are considering emigrating permanently in the future. You can try living abroad without taking on too much risk. Since a return to Germany is already planned, many people feel more comfortable with this option. Additionally, important anchor points like insurance and contracts in Germany often remain intact, making the return easier. The limited overseas adventure offers unforgettable experiences without great risk.
Plan your budget wisely: How to finance your year abroad
Planning and Preparation
Financial Aspects
Budget Planning
Careful budget planning is crucial for a successful "temporary emigration". Create a detailed budget that considers all expected expenses for your time abroad. This includes not only living costs but also rent, insurance, and unforeseen expenses. It's advisable to plan a contingency fund for emergencies to avoid financial surprises. Also consider potential income sources abroad, such as a job or freelance work. A realistic assessment of your financial situation is essential for a relaxed stay abroad.
Account and Finances
Clarify your tax situation before leaving. Germany has signed double taxation agreements with many countries to prevent double taxation of your income. Consult the tax office or a tax advisor about the applicable regulations. It might also be wise to open a bank account in the destination country to facilitate local transactions. Compare the fees and terms of different banks before deciding. Also remember to manage your existing accounts and credit cards in Germany and, if necessary, authorise a trusted person.
Insurance and Social Security
Health Insurance
Comprehensive health insurance is essential when you emigrate temporarily. Check whether your German health insurance is valid abroad or if you need to take out an additional international health insurance policy. For stays within the EU, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) generally applies. For longer stays or travel outside the EU, private health insurance is often the better option. GoMovin insurance solutions provide a variety of options here. Ensure that the insurance covers all important services in the destination country, such as doctor visits, hospital stays, and medication.
Social Security
Inform yourself about the regulations regarding social security. Within the EU, you may be able to remain in the German social security system for up to two years. Outside the EU, this is usually not possible. In this case, you will need to obtain social insurance in the destination country or make private provisions. The two-year limit within the EU can allow you to remain in the German social system. GoMovin offers you comprehensive advice to find the best solution for your individual situation.
Residence Permits and Work Permits
EU Citizens
As an EU citizen, you generally have free choice of residence and employment within the European Union. You do not need a special residence permit or work permit. It is sufficient to register with the local authorities. However, inform yourself about the specific regulations of each country, as there may be differences. The Federal Office for Emigrants and Expatriates offers important information on this matter.
Non-EU Citizens
If you are not an EU citizen, you will generally need a residence and work permit for your "temporary emigration". Applying for these permits can be very demanding depending on the destination country. Therefore, inquire early with the relevant embassy or consulate of the destination country about the necessary documents and deadlines. GoMovin is happy to support you in applying for the necessary permits to make your start abroad easier.
Finding a Job Abroad: How to Succeed in Your Job Search
Employment Opportunities and Job Searching
Work Models
Employment Relationship
If you wish to work during your temporary stay abroad, there are various options available. One option is an employment relationship. You can apply for expatriate positions aimed at professionals and executives, which are often arranged through headhunters or online job boards like Ap-executive. Alternatively, you can seek seasonal work in the hospitality industry (e.g. through Hotellerie Jobs) or in trades (via Eurojobpool). GoMovin assists you in finding suitable job offers and advises you on the respective working conditions.
Self-Employment and Remote Work
Another option is self-employment or remote work. As a digital nomad, you can work from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a stable internet connection. Popular activities include blogging, IT services, or design. However, make sure to clarify the tax and legal frameworks for your self-employment abroad in advance. GoMovin helps you complete the necessary paperwork and supports you in establishing your own business abroad.
Job Searching
Online Portals and Networks
Utilise online job portals and career networks like LinkedIn or Xing for your job search abroad. Adapt your profile to meet the target country’s requirements and connect with potential employers. GoMovin offers you access to a large network of companies and recruitment agencies abroad. We support you in creating your CV and cover letter and prepare you for interviews.
Support from ZAV
The Central Foreign and Specialized Placement Services (ZAV) of the Federal Employment Agency supports you in finding a job abroad. The ZAV also arranges student jobs in various countries. GoMovin works closely with ZAV and offers you comprehensive advice on the support possibilities and assistance provided by ZAV. We help you find the right position and navigate the application process successfully.
