We know - Moving to an island can be extremely stressful, be as
certain as you can be that it's the right move for you before you
go. If possible visit the country before you make up your mind,
don't rely on other people's impressions. Ask yourself if the new
culture and ways will really suit you (and your family).
Look out for- ...For anything and everything to go wrong. Don't
assume that you'll be able to find the perfect job or house
immediately. If possible make sure you've got enough money to see
you through the first couple of months at the very least
(preferably longer). And to do that you'll need to it is far from a
holiday unless you plan.
Set Budgets - As unglamorous as it sounds, good budgeting could be
what makes the difference between a successful relocation and a
disaster. Before you go, work out what everything is going to cost
during those crucial first months when you're trying to find your
feet in a foreign land. Cash offer buy if now
Never Delay - Start preparing as early as possible, just getting
all the necessary paperwork in order can take a long time. Make a
checklist of everything you need to do!
Make a list - If your company has initiated your move you may be
eligible for relocation benefits. Make sure you ask if they haven't
told you already! Things to buy
Your Health - Make sure that the country you are moving to has
adequate healthcare facilities and infrastructure to support you
(and your family), especially if you suffer from a medical
condition which requires treatment or medication. A dip in the pool
is good for your health
The Current Home - Think about what you want to do with your
current home (e.g. Sell it, lease it, leave it empty) and what kind
of accommodation will be most suitable in your new country. If you
don't know anyone in the new country who can help find
accommodation, consider the services of a relocation agent. Low

Jobs and EMPLOYMENT - Will you be looking for work in your new
country? If so, consider starting your job hunt before you go (use
the Internet!) Will you be able to use your existing qualifications
or will a period of retraining be necessary? If you're moving

should try to mix and match make new friends think about a new type
of work job.
Pick up the LANGUAGE - Few skills will have such a positive
impact on your relocation experience as being able to speak, or at
least understand, the local language. Getting to grips with the
local lingo before you go is a great idea!
Documents PAPERWORK - No matter how insignificant that old
document at the back of the bottom drawer may seem now, take it
with you, the chances are at some stage you'll have to show it to
someone. Moving countries can be a bureaucratic nightmare at the
best of times but if you come prepared with the necessary paperwork
you stand the best chance of a stress free relocation. Things to
think about include birth certificates, wedding certificates,
educational certificates, medical certificates (including those for
your pets!), etc.
Family and friends - Don't forget to inform everyone of your new
address and when you're going (unless you don't want them to find
you, of course ;-) Seriously though, saying goodbye to friends and
family can be the hardest thing about leaving, be prepared for an
emotional roller coaster ride as the day of departure draws
near.
YOUR home contents - Will you be taking everything with you or
leaving some items in storage (or even getting rid of them
completely)? How will you move your belongings? Can you transport
them yourself or do you need the services of a moving company? Set
aside those things you need to take with you in person so they
don't get packed accidentally (passports, tickets, etc.)
INSURANCES - Once you've decided what you're taking with you,
insure it. If you haven't already arranged appropriate insurance
(health/life/travel, etc.) for yourself and your family as
well...DO SO!
BANKS - You may need to open a new bank account in your new country
- look for information on the one which suits you best. Do you need
to close your current bank account? At the very least you'll need
to tell your current bank that you're moving. Abbey, Barclays, Bb
va and ing banks
CREDIT CARDS - Credit card companies need to be informed you're
moving. Also, will the credit cards you're taking with you be
widely accepted?
CARS and Driving - Depending on where you're going and how long
you're going to be there you may need to apply for a new driving
license or even take a driving test. Will you take your car with
you or buy rent or lease one when you get to your destination
country?
BILLS UTILITIES etc - Gas, electricity, cable companies and so on
will need to be informed of your departure and contracts terminated
where appropriate. Make arrangements for final meter readings and
bill payments. Rents rental loans mortgages
POSTAL Services REDIRECTION - Having your mail redirected after you
leave can prevent you from missing something important. Villa

ELECTRIC DEVICES AND MOBILE PHONES - Check whether or not your TV,
video, hair dryer, alarm clock etc will work in the new country.

phone (or buy a new one with a subscription) - watch out for
roaming charges with your current phone if you use it. house car

new country...Spain, mallorca, palma de mallorca,majorca

you more than being able to rely on the assistance of your friends
when you need it. Don't think that socialising is time wasted, it's

difficult. There will be times when you're physically and
emotionally exhausted but try not to let things get on top of you.
