MOVING ABROAD CHECKLIST! 11 Things to Do Before Moving Abroad

Here are 11 things I do before relocating overseas! I wish someone would have told me these tips before my first time moving abroad, but you live and learn!

If you are getting ready for an international move don’t miss this. I have moved abroad twice, to 3 different cities in 2 different countries. I first moved to Italy, and most recently moved to Beirut, Lebanon I’m hoping this moving abroad checklist helps make the process as easy as possible, and if you have any other questions after watching let me know in the comments!

This was SO HELPFUL - I'm moving to France in a couple months and uprooting my life after 30+ years is insanely intimidating. Thank you!

This is soo helpful. It might seem weird cuz I'm native Chinese and moving to China, possibly forever. Yet I'm so nervous (I grew up in Singapore). I was dying to move there all my life. I saved money like crazy but now that I'm finally achieving my dream I'm crazy anxious it feels like something will go wrong at the end. I hope everything goes well, it has to, I really worked hard for this

This is really helpful! I’m moving out of the US in August and will definitely reference this video a few times to make sure I do everything I need to 😊 Thanks so much for making this!! ❤️

yoo, tip for the "DVDs" one:- The modern equivalent would be to invest in a VPN subscription - this would allow you to change your device's country in order to watch different media. Another option is to download the film whilst you have access to it in your own country. I want to provide some alternatives just cos DVDs involve buying the DVD player too, as most computers no longer hold DVD ports. otherwise a GREAT video, some rlly niche tips that most haven't mentioned as I've seen haha. thank u vv much.

Thanks for this! I'm moving to Germany in a few months, and I'm a little bit nervous; but this was incredibly helpful. The only thing I'm uncertain about is that I will still be working for a US company and getting paid in US dollars. I am not sure if I can ask my work to deposit my money in a german bank account or if they could potentially pay me in euros. Any thoughts?

1. LET'S NOT FORGET, CHECK WITH EACH COUNTRY'S CRIMINAL HISTORY RESTRICTIONS. YOUR CRIMMINAL HISTORY IN YOUR CURRENT COUNTRY, MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.
2. DO NOT TRANSFER BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO JUST ANY COUNTRY.
3. IF YOU ARE ON SSI, YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE BENEFITS, AND LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, AT THE SAME TIME. EACH BENEFIT PACKAGE HAVE DIFFERENT RETRICTIONS & ADVANTAGES TRUE!
