Changing countries is like embarking on the greatest adventure of your life: a mix of excitement, fear and a to-do list that seems never-ending! But, with a little planning (and less drama), you can make everything go much smoother and even fun.
Thinking about it, Fabio PereiraCEO of Citizenship and visaa company specializing in Portuguese citizenship and visas, he shared 4 safe tips for those who want to make this transition seamlessly. Shall we take a look?
1. Organize your documents (before the chaos begins!)
Yes, this part is the most boring, but also the most important! Visas, sworn translations, certificates… everything must be present in the program. Fábio advises: “Start early, without waiting to resolve the visa with the purchased ticket.”
A good tip is to create a digital folder with all the essentialsfrom your passport to your pet’s documents. This way you will avoid the dreaded race against time (and the mini-heart attack it causes).
2. Enter Humor of the new country
The change is not just physical: the mentality This too must change! How about following local content creators, using apps to chat with natives, or immersing yourself in movies and music from your new destination?
According to the expert, this helps reduce culture shock and create more realistic expectations. After all, knowing the cost of living, transportation and even the “social rules” of the place makes everything easier once you get there.
3. Make peace with your suitcase (less is more!)
When packing your bags, the mantra is simple: take the essentials and let go of the rest. Forget clothes from another season and that blender that weighs a ton: you can find all this at your destination.
Take advantage of the change to get rid of excesses and save space for what really matters: souvenirs, documents and that object that has sentimental value.
4. Experience the new: without haste and without additional costs
The first few months in another country can be a mix of “help” and “wow”. Finding local customs strange, getting stuck in your own language and feeling homesick is normal. But calm down, it will pass!
Fábio advises: “Accept invitations, take courses, explore the city without a script.” As time passes, the accent begins to seem familiar, the routine settles in and the feeling of belonging arrives, along with the pride of having faced this gigantic change.
