Free Country Evaluation Checklist

Is This Country Right for You? The first question every hygienist should answer before researching a move abroad.

Most of the information available online tells you where to look. This tells you what to look for.

Before you spend hours on visa requirements, credential timelines, and cost of living — this checklist helps you evaluate whether a specific country is worth pursuing at all.

Seven areas to work through honestly: licensing and credential recognition, scope of practice, demand and market conditions, employment models and pay structures, language requirements, immigration basics, and red flags that signal a move isn't ready yet.

Free. No strings. Takes about 15 minutes.

Part of the Practice Without Borders toolkit from Dental Hygienists Abroad.
