Dreaming of living abroad? Find out how to make your dream come true, avoid common pitfalls, and plan your move optimally. Get informed now!
The decision to emigrate abroad is a significant step that requires careful consideration. Many dream of a fresh start under palm trees or in the mountains, but the path there is often fraught with challenges. Thorough preparation is crucial to avoid future disappointments. At GoMovin, we understand that this process can be complex, and we are here to support you with our expertise to make your international move as smooth as possible.
Why emigrate? Motives and considerations
The reasons for emigration are diverse. Often it is career opportunities that entice, whether it’s an attractive job offer or the chance to become self-employed. The quality of life also plays a significant role, such as the milder climate, lower crime rate, or better work-life balance in other countries. Not to be forgotten is the spirit of adventure, the desire for new experiences, and the curiosity about foreign cultures.
The importance of well-founded information
Before you pack your bags, you should inform yourself thoroughly. The Federal Office of Administration (BVA) emphasizes the need to make decisions based on well-founded country information. This also includes financial planning, which is often underestimated. It is equally important to address the bureaucratic hurdles, such as visa regulations and residence permits. GoMovin assists you in keeping track and initiating all necessary steps in a timely manner.
Choose the destination country wisely: Consider cost of living, job market, and culture
Selecting the right destination country is a crucial factor for the success of your emigration. It's important to weigh various aspects and find the country that best suits your individual needs and goals. GoMovin assists you in comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different countries to make an informed decision.
EU vs. Non-EU: Differences and Consequences
A significant difference exists between emigrating within the EU and to a country outside the EU. Within the EU, you enjoy the freedom of movement, which greatly simplifies relocating and starting work. Outside the EU, you will need to deal with the respective immigration laws, which are often complex and vary widely. Workwide.de points out that visa applications for non-EU countries can take months or even years.
Criteria for Choosing a Destination Country
When selecting your destination country, you should consider various criteria. The cost of living plays an important role, as it significantly influences your budget. The job market is also decisive, especially if you are looking for a new job. Let's not forget the language and culture, which are key to your integration and well-being in the new country. A provisional solution could be a trial emigration to test the situation on the ground.
Popular Emigration Destinations
Some of the most popular emigration destinations include Switzerland, which is attractive due to its proximity to Germany and high quality of life. Spain is also popular, especially among retirees who appreciate the mild climate and relaxed lifestyle. Canada, on the other hand, attracts with its unspoiled nature and diverse career opportunities. GoMovin supports you in planning your move to any of these countries and helps you settle in quickly and easily.
Optimising Financial Planning: Creating Budgets, Securing Assets and Clarifying Pension Entitlements
Solid financial planning is the foundation of any successful emigration. Before you take the plunge, you should gain a detailed overview of your financial situation and consider all eventualities. GoMovin helps you organise your finances and create a realistic plan for your future abroad.
Creating a Budget: Monitoring Income and Expenses
Create a detailed budget that takes into account all your income and expenses. Compare the cost of living in your current location with that in your potential destination country. Also, consider unexpected expenses, such as repairs or medical visits. Germans abroad advise planning a buffer for unforeseen circumstances.
Securing and Transferring Assets
Timely attention should be given to securing and transferring your assets. Open overseas bank accounts and inform yourself about tax implications. Clarify how you will manage your existing loans and debts. GoMovin supports you in handling all necessary formalities, ensuring that your assets arrive safely and effortlessly at your new home.
Pension Rights and Social Security
Familiarise yourself with your pension rights and social security in the destination country. Clarify whether you can make voluntary contributions to maintain your entitlements. Inquire about your entitlements in the destination country and how you can claim them. Auslandsjob.de recommends carefully reviewing existing pension plans and, if necessary, making voluntary contributions.
Mastering bureaucracy: Efficiently handle visas, documents, and deregistration
The bureaucratic hurdles are often one of the biggest challenges when emigrating. From visa applications to deregistering your residence, there are many things to keep in mind. GoMovin helps you stay on top of it all and ensure that all necessary steps are taken in time.
Necessary Documents and Translations
Make sure you have all the necessary documents together, such as your birth certificate and marriage certificate. Have them translated and certified if necessary. Clarify whether your qualifications need to be recognised in the destination country. Workwide.de advises obtaining certified translations of important documents.
Visas and Permits
Inform yourself about the visas and residence permits you need for your destination country. Some countries use points systems, such as Canada, where age, experience, education, and language skills are assessed. Other countries, like the United Kingdom, require a Skilled Worker Visa that is tied to a specific employer.
Deregistration in Germany/Austria/Switzerland
Don't forget to deregister in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland before you emigrate. Deregistering your residence is usually required if you no longer have a home in the country. Note that deregistration may affect your health insurance. The Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs points out that deregistering from the main residence results in removal from the electoral roll.
Securing Health: Health Insurance, Vaccinations, and Precautions Abroad
Your health should also be a priority abroad. Arrange comprehensive coverage in a timely manner to ensure you receive proper care in case of illness. GoMovin assists you in choosing the right insurance and advises you on all matters related to health abroad.
Health insurance in the destination country
Check your existing health insurance and clarify whether it is also valid abroad. If necessary, take out a foreign health insurance policy that provides comprehensive protection in the destination country. Note that the benefits and costs of health insurance can vary significantly between countries. Workwide.de emphasises the importance of checking existing health insurance.
Other important insurances
In addition to health insurance, there are other important insurances to consider, such as liability insurance and household contents insurance. Liability insurance protects you against financial damages you may cause to others, while household contents insurance secures your belongings in case of theft, fire, or water damage.
Vaccinations and health precautions
Inform yourself about the necessary vaccinations for your destination country and have them carried out in a timely manner. Also consider the vaccinations for your pets if you plan to take them with you. It's also advisable to have a health check before emigrating to ensure you start your new life fit and healthy. Workwide.de points out that a waiting period of 21 days after vaccination is required for pets before departure.
Promote integration: learn the language, make contacts, and understand cultural differences
Integration into the new environment is crucial for your well-being and success abroad. The better you integrate, the quicker you will feel at home and make new friendships. GoMovin supports you in integrating and helps you get settled in your new home.
Learning the Language and Language Courses
Learning the local language is key to integration. Participate in language courses or use online resources to improve your language skills. The better you master the language, the easier it will be for you to make contacts and navigate everyday life. Auslandsjob.de emphasises the importance of language skills for administrative tasks and integration.
Making Contacts and Building Networks
Seek contact with other people and build up a network. Join German clubs abroad or get involved in local communities. The more contacts you have, the less lonely you will feel and the quicker you will integrate.
Understanding Cultural Differences
Engage with cultural differences and try to understand them. Inform yourself about the laws and rules of the host country as well as the customs and traditions. The better you understand the culture, the fewer misunderstandings there will be and the easier it will be for you to adapt.
