Emigrating is a huge decision for anyone. Here at Spratt Personal Shipping, Dublin we help people make the move all the time. There are a lot of loose ends to tie up before you make that big leap into a new world. Some people decide to emigrate for a short term while others make their stay abroad permanent. Whatever your plan or reasons always make sure you are absolutely covered before you go.
Here’s a few helpful tips to help you with your big move:
Make Sure Your Documents Are Valid
The importance of this cannot be stressed enough. Always make sure you have the appropriate documents needed to enter a particular country. If you are travelling to the United Kingdom or inside the European Union an up to date passport will suffice. Make sure the passport is valid for at least six more months just to be on the safe side, if your passport is expiring within a six month period make sure to get it renewed as soon as possible.

Other countries around the world such as the United States, Australia, Canada and nations outside of the EU will require a visa. The issuing of these visas will depend on the length of time you plan on staying in a particular country. You can apply for a visa in the Embassy or Consulate of the country you are planning on emigrating to.
Secure Accommodation
When moving to a new country chances are you will know someone already there who can show you the ropes. If not there is bound to be an Irish community of some sorts. If you do have contacts try to find a place to stay through them until you find a place of your own.
If you have no contacts try to organise somewhere short term before you leave. The last thing you want is to arrive into a strange country with nowhere to go! Rent in certain countries may be just as expensive as Ireland so try find somewhere that suits your initial budget. Many people travelling on their own backpack for a while through hostels but if you are planning to move with a family finding a moderately priced place to stay is essential.

Make Sure You’re Financially Secure
One of the main reasons many people emigrate is to find better employment opportunities abroad with countries such as Australia and Canada proving the most popular destinations for Irish jobseekers.
Unless you have secured a job before you leave there is no instant guarantee that you will find instant employment the moment you arrive. With this in mind it is important that you have saved a significant amount of money to keep you covered until you find your feet.
Some countries such as Australia actually require you to have a minimum amount of money before you enter. Another tip is to open up a bank account for the nation you are moving to. This cuts out any international fees and will be compulsory anyway once you have found employment.
