Hi. I’ve moved to the UK, China and US. Visa / work permits are typically the most challenging piece of the puzzle. But luckily it always worked out in the end and I’m so grateful for all those different experiences. Let me know if any specific questions - happy to help answer any of them :)
I have a European passport. Moving with your company is certainly the easiest logistically. If that’s not an option I recommend spending a couple of weeks in the city where you want to move to and meet as many people as possible. Things may not work out directly but keep in touch with everyone regularly and it may lead to a job offer. When I moved to UK I didn’t have a job but back then as a European I had the right to work so I just packed my stuff and started looking for a job once I was there. If that’s an option (from a visa/work permit perspective), that’s definitely helpful since companies easily get scared when they have to relocate you.
