International Ambitions For Work. Part 3

The road to where I am currently has been kind of a long one that spands half a dozen states and a handful of countries.  It started in the great state of Oklahoma before hitting the road east bound toward Virginia, then off to Washington and California before I launched overseas to work in developing industries and businesses in the Southeast Asia region.  Now days I don't jump around nearly as much as I used to.  There was a time where I would fall asleep in one airport limo , and wake up in the next one, in a completely different country.

Truth be told, I was laughing, just the other day at how difficult some of the stamps in my passport were to attain. Some were easy, others were downright difficult to get. If I had even close to the amount of knowledge then as I have now, I promise you, my priority list would have been totally different while I was getting ready to ship out.

For instance, I would have not wasted money attempting to look like a wealthy foreign investor riding around with a limo service, if I had known all of the expenses involved with working overseas. In addition, I certainly would not have tried so hard to instantly build my new social life once I arrived on the ground, if I had known how hard it is to work overseas for the first time. From first hand experience, I know that these tips will help you!

1.) Although the provision of a house or an apartment is something that is usually settled in the offer letter, never assume that anything will be provided for you that is not explicitly detailed, as this is also left up to employees quite often. Never hold back on questions, once you are away from home it could be to late, so ask, ask, and ask some more. Out of the dozen or so different countries I have at least temporarily rented in, I have seen a dozen different types of housing and rental rules. In a few countries I have worked in, deposits can be fairly large. In some instances, people are hesitant to rent to foreigners because they think you might bail out on your rental agreement, so make sure you have a bit of pocket money for a larger deposit fee. Just to be clear, the less you know about a metropolitan area and its transportation options, the more important and vital housing location becomes. Do your research. Google, Yahoo, then Search Bing just to double check if you missed anything.

2.) A quick stop at the local immigration's office is never, ever quick. Think a California DMV visit but probably nine or ten times more populates. The quick tips that are below will not only save you from the risk of being deported but also a considerable amount of time. One of the single most important thing you can do is to go online and visit the Immigration's Official Website. From there you can find out the exact fees you will have to pay and what type of legal paperwork (signatures) you will need to bring in with you. Also, show up EARLY!.
