International moving is difficult. There are so many extra tasks you need to do to prepare to move that it's often difficult to keep track. If you're moving overseas, use this checklist as a guide to help you through a complicated move.
Meet With an Immigration Official
Even if you're receiving work permits or country visas through your employer, it's a good idea to set up a meeting with an immigration official. Contact the local embassy or consulate for information. Or if you're moving on your own without the help of an employer, you may need to hire an immigration lawyer to help you through the visa process. Just make sure you know the immigration laws and make notes about deadlines (for submission of forms), time frames (how long you're legally allowed to stay in the country) and policies regarding importing household goods and currency.
