But first and foremost, defining the reason for change is already an important step in achieving stronger planning. For example, professionals of multinationals are usually already transferred with a residence chosen in advance by the company. But you must know your new neighbourhood. Search on the Internet, discover the main services, restaurants, supermarkets, schools, etc. Thus, it becomes easier to get used to a new environment.
But there is another group of people: those who decide to change countries and cities on their own account. Often, the person already knows the destination country. But do not make mistake: doing tourism in a country is very different than living there. Talk to people, if you have friends or if you know people in the country, ask for advice on the local culture, remove all your doubts about possible difficulties: whether for the language or in daily life itself.

This phase requires the most attention, because no detail can be forgotten. So, the main trick is: to make lists. Whether on computer or paper, write down everything you take, what will remain, list your favorite things and give those that will no longer be useful in your new country.
