Relocation checklist

Everything you need to verify before moving

Step 1

Visa

Confirm entry rules, long-stay path, renewal rhythm, and document timing.

Step 2

Choose public, private, or hybrid coverage before the move date.

Step 3

Shortlist neighborhoods, deposit norms, lease terms, and move-in cash.

Step 4

Plan local banking, transfer rails, and backup payment methods.

Step 5

Set up mobile data immediately so transport, banking, and OTPs work on day one.

Step 6

Check residency triggers, local filing, and home-country overlap early.

Step 7

Decide whether you need public transit, scooter, ride-hailing, or a car.

Step 8

Carry passport scans, proofs of income, insurance docs, and lease-ready paperwork.
