Step by step
Before-you-go plan
A general order of steps. Your destination decides the exact requirements, so confirm each one with its official authority.
Progress
Need a savings target for the move? Musafir Money has a moving budget tool.
Not legal or immigration advice. These tools turn what you type into questions and sums. They cannot confirm that a job is genuine or that you may work somewhere. Musafir Work is not a recruiter and lists no jobs.
Good to know
- This is a general order of steps. The country you are going to decides the exact requirements, so confirm each one with its official authority.
- Apply for your visa or permit yourself, or through a licensed route. We do not handle visas or permits.
- Leave copies of your contract and passport with someone you trust, and save your embassy’s address and emergency number before you fly.
