Answers to 5 common questions about moving abroad

If someone wants to move abroad, to do nothing, renting an apartment at home, then do not read. In Facebook is full of groups of any Russian region: there will tell you how to live and work for two pennies. My story is for those who normally feels at home, but due to the fact that live in the city sad, and in large cities climate is so-so, wants to change the situation for yourself, family, health and new experience.

Recently, I had a message here. This is not the first time that people are interested in how to live and work abroad.

Hello! Again, I do not know where to start. Let me explain. In October, he flew to Egypt, and for some reason this trip turned all my ideas about life, career, and that's what I want. It's some kind of a new awareness of the fact that I spend time on the wrong things. I have always loved the sea, and now just realized that I wanted to live with him, but do not know where to start. Every day I think about it... just leave, leave, leave. I know that you moved to Bali. Tell me, if not difficult, where to begin? Did you have there some friends? How did you find the job? I had already had three cities, and how to move to a new city, I'm familiar with. But it is in Russia. When moved, there is a clear plan, and you act on it, and to move abroad, I still can not make up this plan. It defined only by what I want to do. What's next? Why this fear? After all, I was not the first time to drop everything and start from scratch. Do you doubt it?

Go. To begin, understand, why do you crossing. If you love experiences, fatigue, or a desire to change, do the following... Select the location where you want to move, take a vacation at his own expense for 1-3 months, and it is better - to agree with the director that will work remotely, make out a tourist visa and go. Be sure to remove an apartment, not a hotel room. Buy groceries at the local store, communicate with neighbors, cook at home. Live just like you live at home. Return home late, call your doctor, open an account in a local bank. Collect every day as much as possible useful information, gain experience. Consider your expenses, pretends to a living wage.

It may be that in a month you will howl and understand that at home no worse lives better just to leave a vacation once a year for a couple of months, and full of energy to go home.

The fact that many people simply very tired, and therefore believe that they need to move it. Check for a start, it was true or not. It will save you a lot of money, nerves and time.

If confidence in the move is complete, make sure that you have achieved something at home, have earned something. I implore you: do not leave a hole in your pocket. In Russia, for example, now there are many ways to make money, and given that the crisis sweeps amateurs filthy broom, open up previously unknown possibilities for the development of the business or work in an ideal company.

It was a prelude, and now Julia mileage on specific issues.

Where to start?

First you need to read what I wrote above, again. Carefully.

If you wish to move left, then choose: your first trip will be more than two months? If so, get a social visa for six months at the Embassy of Indonesia in his homeland. If less, then come and get a visa on the spot, right at the airport. Month visa free. Paid costs 35 dollars, and it can be renewed for a second month for $ 50 at the agency.

Work as such on the island there, follow the popular Facebook community in Bali. Sometimes the surf-schools and the other guys spread a job offer, but objectively they are few, small salaries. The main reason is that the local workers' wages to full-time - about 200 dollars. Ready to compete? Another problem - the company needs to spend about 1 500-2 000 dollars to make you a six-month work visa. That is, you have not yet started to work, and the company has to spend on you. Plus, this is a work visa a few months, and always have to fly to another country to submit documents to the embassy. As long as the visa is made, you can not work.

Nobody forbids you to do their work without permission, but there is an excellent chance to get an impressive fine and deportation from Indonesia. And not a fact that allowed to return.

Whether you were there the familiar?

Yes, there were the familiar guys who were actually scoundrels and swindlers. Exploiting the trust and patience vparili expensive villa, earned money by collecting commissions mad wherever we appear to them, and even tried to vparit land that does not exist. Unfortunately, these characters on the island enough. Therefore it is better to go on the site have to get links with the local community and foreigners. Be themselves, and do not forget about vigilance.

How did you find the job?

Not looking for work. I have enough things to do in Moscow, which, thanks to my team, I could steer remotely. At leisure, I teach people DJing on the island and for the year obzavolsya good connections in the Russian community, and local. I studied and stayed in good friends children are very serious politicians, lawyers and businessmen. A lot more than doing, but eventually I settled on how to get started and. Am Moscow affairs, sometimes spend individual lessons on production and DJing, write and publish music. One of my students expressed a desire to engage in branch school in Bali, here he is now helping to establish a system that everything was nice and high quality. But it's more for the soul than for some serious earnings.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I also made active use of the island. But this exercise takes a lot of strength and energy and brings little money. Plus working visa for 1 500 seriously hits the pocket, but to work without it as a DJ very carefully. Chances of being deported for illegal commercial activities.

Do you doubt it?

No, I did not plan to stay, I arrived just relax. Then exchange tickets remained for the second month, a villa rented for a year and crashed on a scooter. As a result, I lain two months in Moscow, on crutches, returned to the island and another two months learning to walk again. (Thanks to my family! You got me out, Lyubimka.) Therefore, in my moving to Bali a little romance. Went heavy breakup with my ex, friends that met turned out to be scams, crashed on the bike, surf did not work and the like. But then, when I came back, everything went like clockwork. Especially when you learned to walk. You know, four months of crutches so refreshing. You start to enjoy every detail: how easy it is to walk, for example.

Therefore, there was no doubt. already had the experience of everyday life to Bali in my Spain and Bulgaria. Honestly, Bali so many moments I did not like, but after moving to the area of ​​Canggu process went more cheerfully, and now I am happy here every day, like a child. I bike, big, sorfbordy. Favorite next - before this I could only dream of.

Why this fear?

Because there is no money. Because comfort zone well, and change - out of this zone. Because there is a number of the men who would take the hand and said, "Baby, come on, do not be afraid. Everything will be cool, I promise. "

So what to do:

1. Live a month or two in the desired country.
2. Optimize the current work on the remote or master a new way.
3. Save money.
4. Make a plan for the return, do not burn bridges at home.
5. Gathering previous experience on a tourist trip, plan a solid move.
