The InterNations Weekly 1. InterNations Expat Magazine Preparing for Your Move Abroad Once you’ve made the decision to move abroad, knowing what steps to take next can seem overwhelming! With so much to do, you should get started as soon as possible. Most importantly, you need to make sure you have a valid passport and apply for your visa and work permit well in advance. After you’ve got the ball rolling on your visa, you can start organizing your finances, deciding whether to rent or sell your home, and figuring out what things you want to take with you, what will go into storage, and what you need to sell or give away. In our article: Prepare for Moving Abroad, you’ll find more tips to make sure that your move abroad goes off without a hitch. Please note that our Expat Magazine is usually accessible for Albatross Members only. However, due to popular demand this article will be available to read for all InterNations members until March 20th. Don’t forget that you still need to log into your InterNations account in order to read the article. 2. InterNations in the Press The New Expat Members of our Local Community in Guadalajara were interviewed for an article in The Guadalajara Reporter at their end-of-the-year brunch. Expats who join this Community will be welcomed by a vibrant and international group with over 2,000 members. The results of a recent survey of InterNations members were featured in The Telegraph last week. In the survey, established expats and would-be expats were asked about their main motivation for moving abroad. The survey showed a trend towards expats moving abroad chiefly for reasons of enjoyment rather than employment. On January 19th, members of our Zurich Community enjoyed an elegant Sunday brunch at Schloss Sihlberg. The event photos, taken by Ron Clark, were compiled into a video by Marco di Giano and posted on our InterNations Events around the World playlist on YouTube. 3.
