What's inside
Seven categories. Every area of your life before you leave.
Most checklists cover paperwork. This one covers everything — because a successful move depends on more than documents.
Documents
Passports, visas, certified copies — and what must stay in your carry-on.
Finances
Banks, pensions, tax residency, and international accounts — before the gap in service costs you.
Location & Housing
Notice periods, utilities, mail forwarding, and arrival logistics — none of it improvised.
Health
Records, prescriptions, vaccinations, insurance — and how to register with a doctor on arrival.
Belongings
Shipping companies, customs inventories, storage, and what to sell or donate before you go.
Social Life & Hobbies
Goodbyes, community research at your destination, and the connections that make arrival less isolating.
Final Week Before Departure
Confirmations, carry-on essentials, phone plans, and a moment to mark the milestone.
