Course details

If you are moving abroad, or work in human resources assisting those who are moving abroad, this course is packed with useful tips and advice, written and presented by former BBC foreign correspondent, Jon Devitt. Begin with some things you can do before you leave home, like determining if you need a relocation company, finding the right visa or residency permit, getting in the right frame of mind, and examining the advantages and disadvantages of visiting your new home before you move. Move on to the first things you should do after arriving in your new home, like choosing health insurance, arranging access to money and a mobile phone service, and completing your move. Learn practical ways to deal with the shock of the new and the various challenges you may encounter living as an expat. Plus, go over ways to prepare for your return home. Expat life is much more rewarding and less stressful if you’re well prepared!

This course was created by Jon Devitt. We are pleased to host this training in our library.

    I enjoyed this content. I had planned to retire abroad anyway, but with the Trump administration, I may need to move my date up by years.

    This can still be a bit relevant for western expats in countries like Saudi or Syria. Overall, migrating for work has become so common and so much content is available on YouTube that this course has become irrelevant. Also, concepts like relocation companies and gated communities may be available for top executives and company bosses but for the average Joe these are alien concepts and most don't get paid a single penny for relocation and the employer / company feels they are not obligated to pay for migration after paying for the work visa sponsorship.
