What issues need to be resolved before moving to permanent
residence:
1.ย ย ย ย ย ย Choosing the countryย
This is the most important step, because different countries have different conditions for newly arriving immigrants, and your comfort will depend on how difficult or easy it will be for you to get settled in a new country.
2.ย ย ย ย ย ย Acquaintance with the future country of residence
Coming to the country on vacation and moving for permanent residence are two different things. To better know the conditions for living, you can rent an apartment, settle in a non-tourist area, explore the infrastructure, travel by public transport, get to know the locals. All this will help to better form an opinion about the city.
3.ย ย ย ย ย ย Studying the job market
It is important to find out the conditions for work, the level of salaries, the level of insurance and pension payments, and to study tax legislation. Since moving always has a significant impact on the family budget, it is better to prepare in advance and, if possible, find a job remotely.
4.ย ย ย ย ย ย Schools, universities, hospitals
If you are moving with your family, then you need to find out what educational institutions will be nearby, the conditions for admission, the cost of education. Another serious question is how accessible medical care will be.
5.ย ย ย ย ย ย Collection and preparation of documents for moving
It is important to study the migration legislation or contact consultants in order to collect a complete package of documents that will help you settle comfortably in a new place.
While you are settling in
a new place and looking for work or a school for children, you will have to
move around the city a lot. Taxi is often the most expensive option, public
transport is not always convenient, so renting a car is the best choice.ย
But not everyone knows that in order to drive a car in many
countries, it is necessary to have an international driver's license in
addition to national ones. In order not to find yourself in an uncomfortable
situation without the opportunity to drive a car in another country, you can
apply for an International Driving Permit in advance.ย
In some countries, such
document is issued by local government agencies, but most often this is
accompanied by bureaucratic difficulties, the need to collect original
documents, as well as to be personally present when documents are submitted and
pick them up when ready. The quality of the provided document also leaves much
to be desired, as the International driving license will be actively used on
trips and the fragility of the document will mean that it will have to be obtained
again.
To easily get an International driving permit you can
contact the International
Drivers Association (IDA),
where the process is as simple and clear as possible, all applications are made
online. You can be sure that the received document will be valid in 180
countries, because it complies with the standards of the UN conventions
"On Road Traffic" and will be registered in the United Austrian
database.
