|
|
After the first screen you should have the basic general information about the country you are thinking to move to. If those information convinced about you transferring to a new country to take a job abroad or an internship abroad, you should prepare yourself in order to avoid unpleasant surprised of your new home country. When you work abroad, you will have to face a new working reality.
In a foreign country you will find things different from your home country. You should figure out the average salary of your new country, so you can judge better the job offer you have received or the job offers you will apply to abroad. Apart from average salary abroad, you should take in to account that probably you will be under a new tax regime and the expenses can be significantly different. Renting a room can vary a lot around the world, just to give you one example of your expenses you will find when you move abroad.
Indeed, one of the most important things you should verify for your international experience for your stay abroad is the accommodation in your new country. You should be aware of the average rent for a flat in the county where you are moving, as it will have the biggest impact on your budget for your move abroad adventure. Apart from this you should also verify how much usually the housing deposit is and for how many months you will be required to pay the rent when you move in and the possible taxes you should pay.
Keep in mind that there might be special taxes for foreigners. Of course, you should also know how difficult it is to find an accommodation, as in some cities abroad it is extremely difficult to find flats to rent. In that case you should contact agencies before you move abroad.
