As part of our commitment to make your international move as trouble-free as possible we are providing you with links to a number of web sites that may assist you when planning your relocation.
Apart
from in depth moving advice, you will find specific information on every conceivable
country - including their customs requirements, housing facilities, exchange
rates, tax systems, schooling options and health services. You will also find
a number of specialist sites focussing on the United Kingdom, Australia and
New Zealand that we hope you will find useful.
http://www.expatexchange.com/
Claiming to be "a world of friends abroad", this site is more international
in flavour. It's homepage features important headline news from a host of countries,
as well as frequently updated travel warnings and expert field reports on life
in each country featured.
The list is as impressive as that of Direct Moving, although there is a lot less on-site content. Instead, Expat Exchange provides information in areas such as health insurance, jobs & careers and clubs & organisations by providing links to a series of relevant sites in each category. This guarantees in-depth, first hand information that can be compared with Direct Moving's editorial comments.

Aimed primarily at tourists, this site provides the usual information for people
spending time in the English capital - from hotels and popular restaurants to
a theatre guide and worthwhile attractions. Nevertheless, the attention to detail
and diverse areas covered will provide much useful content for people new to
the city and its surroundings.

Although this site is also aimed more at tourists than immigrants it is a very
useful introduction to Britain. It features information on major attractions
and popular destinations as well as a "virtual journey" through these
areas. Also featured is a calendar of upcoming events as well as news highlights.

Not a site with the most inviting name but it is aimed specifically at South
Africans living in and relocating to the United Kingdom. As a result, there
is a lot of information particularly relevant to South Africans wanting to move
there. Advice on traveling and visas is backed up by job listings and general
information on areas such as shopping and sporting activities. A diary of upcoming
events is also featured, while those already far from home can read about the
latest happenings in South Africa.

Everything you will ever need to know before moving to Australia can be found
on this official site of the Australian Immigration Department. Particularly
relevant is the "Migrating to Australia" section which offers specialised
information for, amongst others, business people, skilled migrants and those
with family already in Australia.
A "Frequently Asked Questions" section offers useful answers to common immigration questions. The "Settling in Australia" pages supply helpful information on housing, education, health services and employment while the "Information Resources" section provides information on all the documentation needed for immigration.

The sole agency of the New Zealand government responsible for migration and
entry to the country, the NZIS provides all the relevant information needed
for relocating to New Zealand. Sections include settlement information, employment,
education as well as general information on the country - including living costs
and the climate. The "Migration" page provides in-depth details of
visa requirements including residence visas and permits. Certain of these application
forms are also available to download.
