The Ultimate Expat Checklist — Before You Move Abroad

Stop Googling “what do I need to do before moving abroad” at 2am. We made the list for you.

This is the exact pre-departure checklist we built from our own experience living and slow traveling abroad — 12 sections covering everything you need to handle before you leave, in the order you need to do it.

What’s covered:

• Visas, passports & immigration

• International banking & expat taxes

• Health insurance & medical prep

• Housing, mail forwarding & legal docs

• Packing strategy & tech setup

• Remote work, pet travel & saying your goodbyes

• Emotional prep & culture shock
