I'd like to live abroad, but I don't know how to go about it. What can another country offer me? What doors can I open by moving abroad?
Living abroad is a real challenge. To succeed, ask yourself the following questions: What does this country have to offer me? What do I hope to find there? What professional opportunities does it offer me? With a clear vision of your motivations, you'll be better prepared to face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
If living abroad is something you've been wanting to do for years, we're here to help you take the plunge today. Immigrating to a country, rather than simply visiting it, will not only allow you to immerse yourself in a new culture and have a deeper, more fulfilling experience there, it will also open up entirely new opportunities for you professionally, whether you choose to find employment or invest there.
You also need to determine in advance the best way for you to live in your host country, bearing in mind that the status of employee is different from that of investor/entrepreneur, and that both differ in turn from one country to another.
In addition to providing you with a new and an impactful experience that will enrich your CV, immigrating and working abroad will offer you numerous opportunities and benefits that will continually develop your professional career. Indeed, this experience will enable you to acquire new knowledge and skills, develop your professional network, open up to new work cultures and perfect your foreign language.
What's more, this experience will shape you both professionally and personally. Indeed, changing country will give you the opportunity to encounter new people on a daily basis who think and act differently, immersing you in an environment that conforms to new norms and values, forcing you to step out of your comfort zone and encouraging your fulfillment on all levels.
Keep in mind, however, that job hunting requires a great deal of patience, and it's easy to become demotivated when faced with the difficulties involved. So, before choosing your host country, we invite you to visit job search sites such as LinkedIn or Indeed, which will make it easier for you to connect with employers abroad 100% digitally, and give you some visibility on the opportunities awaiting you there.
It's also possible to search for jobs abroad by traveling to the desired country. This will allow the employer to see that you are motivated and determined. Basically, anyone can apply for and attend interviews on a tourist visa; while it's illegal to work in another country without a work visa, it's not illegal to look for a job.
Investing abroad is one of the most challenging projects to undertake. With the challenges of foreign exchange regulations to get the money out, and different languages and currencies to deal with, it's no wonder that most people think twice before attempting such a venture. So, before investing, we invite you to study your target market carefully. Indeed, finding a safe investment opportunity abroad depends on the situation in each country, which is why it's crucial to inform yourself before taking the plunge.
There are many opportunities in different sectors. You can contact your local chamber of commerce and industry in your target country to find out about the most promising sectors, as well as the risks and challenges you may face.
