Before relocating for work, build a clear picture of both the role and your everyday arrangements. Your employer should be the primary contact for the formal requirements connected with the position.

Get the essentials in writing

Ask for clear information about the role, work location, schedule, compensation, language expectations and the support offered before and after arrival. If you need an agreement interpreted or reviewed, use a qualified professional.

Clarify responsibilities

Ask who handles each official process, what you need to provide, and how you will receive updates. Verify work authorisation and other legal requirements with the relevant authorities or a qualified adviser.

Think beyond the first working day

  • Where will you stay initially?
  • What will your commute involve?
  • Who is your arrival contact?
  • Which living costs will you cover yourself?
  • What is your backup plan if arrangements change?
