We've been living abroad for a number of years in a number of countries. Everytime we move to a new country, the process of research begins. It's not just limited to expat health insurance, or new bank accounts, or expat relocation services - it also includes immigration services, healthcare, tax advice, compensation levels, local city life, my favorite food from home, the location of airports and more.

Having been through the process of moving overseas or relocating abroad several times, we've always wished there was a page that offered essentual information for moving and living abroad.  This page will not capture all that you will want or need to know about expat living or an expat life abroad but it will provide a great place to start.

No matter how well you plan your move abroad, you will forget something....At least we always do. It could be notifying your health insurance provider, contacting your credit card company, stocking up on your favorite food, ordering foreign currency from your bank, confirming your flight details, printing a list of  your overseas contacts.  The list of things to do seems endless.

As we have been through the process of moving abroad several times, our advise is don't worry, you can always work it out.
