āœˆļø Question 1 of 10

Why do you want to move abroad?

How it works

Answer 10 quick questions about your situation. Each answer nudges the result one way or the other, and some are dealbreakers on their own. You get one of three verdicts, the reasons from your own answers, and practical tips. Everything is worked out in your browser: your answers are never sent to us.

What could the result be?

  • šŸŒ Go for it: You have the reasons, the means and the mindset for a move abroad. Sort out the paperwork early, and give yourself a year to really settle in.
  • šŸ¤” Plan a bit more first: The move could work, but some things need sorting first. A long trip, a working holiday or a short-term contract is a great way to test it before you commit.
  • šŸ” Not right now: This isn't the right moment to move abroad, but that can change. Keep saving, learn the language and visit: then try this quiz again.

Tips

  • Check visa and work-permit rules before anything else.
  • Save enough for at least three months of rent and living costs.
  • Start learning the language before you go.
  • Find expat and local groups online before you arrive, so you know people from day one.
