Citizen of the World

There is an ever-increasing number of people who leave their country of birth and move –  sometimes often – for professional or lifestyle reasons. Although moving to another country can theoretically be as simple as booking a flight and packing a large suitcase, in practice, there are many factors to take into consideration.

In order to get settled in, it's important to understand the basics, such as how to find accommodation in a suitable area, what to get insured, when to open a bank account and where to find a good school. And then of course, there are the legal issues such as residency, the right to work and the tax implications of living and working in a new country. 

AngloINFO is there to help with all the issues related to moving to and living in another country. Browse the reference library of INFOrmation Pages for the facts you need.

Perhaps the biggest consideration is the right to residence. This is easy for an EU national wishing to live elsewhere in the EU as automatic rights of residence are granted, but it can be a lot more complicated for non-EU citizens. Find out all about it from the INFOrmation Page Residence Permits.

The AngloFILE directory of local English-speaking businesses has over 3,700 entries – organisations providing services in English that can help with just about anything. It includes the things you need when planning a move, as well as the products, services and associations that you might want at any time, regardless of how long you've lived here.
