moving abroad temporalily
Posted by jellyfish_soph@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 6 comments
I want to move abroad (from uk) my partner doesnt so we thought a compromise would be moving for 1-2 years or slightly longer say 3-4. Is that possible? would we be better to sell our house or rent it out while we're away? I dont know much about the laws and such but Im assuming thats a lot of paperwork too. Cost wise, we arent richš I make just over minimum wage and my partner is currently an apprentice but will be making Ā£15ph in a couple years, we have quite a lot saved up though. We wouldnt be moving anytime soon he still needs to finish his apprenticeship and we'd want to save even more. Is it possible to do this? if not what other options is there?

Definitely rent it out, don't sell. I moved from Russia to Brazil about 4 years ago.
Renting your house while you're abroad is the smart move. It covers your mortgage (if you have one), gives you a safety net if things don't work out, and you come back to something.
One thing I wish someone told me before I left: don't wait until everything is "ready." You'll never feel ready. The apprenticeship finishing is a good concrete deadline, use that, save what you can until then, and go.
Where are you thinking of moving to?

spain - but there is a housing and employment crisis so its seeming more and more unlikely

If you are currently not an expat, and are looking for information about emigrating, you are required to ask specific questions about a specific destination or set of destinations. This means you should have already put some thought and research into where you might wantāand be ableāto go.
You must provide context for your questions which may be relevant. No one is an expert in your eligibility to emigrate, so itās expected that you will have already done some research to get an idea of what countries you might be able to get a visa for.

I would advise you to first start saving up for those 3-4 years before making the move. Depending where you are moving, there is a chance you will have a hard time finding housing due to housing crisis in Europe. Might be handy to apply for jobs from abroad so companies pay for relocation however currently there are also a lot of reorgs happening therefore unlikely they will give someone unless you are highly specialized in your field.

Laws etc depend on where youāre able to legally relocate to.
Definitely need to do a bit more research in narrowing it down first.
Good luck š¤š¾
