Plan an International Move

International moves take longer to prepare for than expected, and the steps most commonly left too late are the ones that take longest: visa applications, pension decisions, banking access that works abroad, and administrative registration in the destination country. This builds a preparation timeline in four phases, from twelve months out to the first ninety days in country, focused on what is commonly underestimated.

**Plan** a structured preparation timeline for the international move described.
1. Pre-departure checklist (6 to 12 months out): the administrative steps that take longest and must start earliest, including visa or residency applications, pension and tax considerations, and property decisions
2. Financial preparation (3 to 6 months out): banking access, currency planning, emergency fund sizing for an international move, and any UK financial accounts to close or maintain
3. Practical logistics (1 to 3 months out): the five most commonly underestimated practical tasks for this destination
4. First 90 days in country: the administrative and practical steps to complete in the first three months to establish legal and practical footing
