City guides for people who move
Expat Life Saver
Practical guides for settling into a new city: the paperwork in the right order, where to live, getting around, health care, schools and the everyday things nobody tells you. Each city is split into short pages you can read in a few minutes.

Before any move
- Apostille and translate birth, marriage and degree certificates before you leave. It is slow and expensive from abroad.
- Scan everything into one cloud folder: passports, visas, contracts, payslips, medical records.
- Keep your home phone number alive (roaming or eSIM) so bank and government OTPs still reach you.
- Bring 3–6 months of costs: deposits, agency fees and the gap before the first salary add up.
- Sort health cover from day one, until the local public system enrols you.
- Learn 50 words of the local language before you land. Greeting people in their language opens more doors than anything else.
