Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

2

What it takes.

Time
Processing runs from submission of the complete file to the issuing authority’s decision.
Cost
Budget for the application documents, certification, police or medical records and travel in addition to any charge collected at filing.
The hard part
Securing a genuine registered-sector role and concessionaire relationship evidence.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
