Frequently asked questions
What counts as a relocation budget?
One-time costs before you settle: flights, visa application fees, rental deposit, first month's rent, short-term health cover, and optional shipping for belongings. Ongoing monthly living costs are separate, try the cost-of-living comparison for those.
How accurate is the shipping estimate?
Shipping uses a static route matrix (region to region) with luggage, boxed freight, and container tiers. It is a planning ballpark, get carrier quotes before you book.
Do I need savings before I move?
Most long-stay visas require proof of funds beyond the move itself. This calculator shows upfront cash needs; the visa eligibility check at /visa-check helps with program thresholds.
