If you are going to perform productive workfor an employer in a country where you arenot eligible to work, then, regardless of thetime spent, most countries will require you
to obtain a work visa.

Organizational approval of your new position
is only half the battle.
A work visa approval grants you thepermission to begin work in a new country
immediately.

A different location means differentstandards, including what is
important in a home:
Outdoor spaces versus larger kitchens
Smaller everything in comparison to U.S.“norms”
Housing issues vary around the world aseconomic standing, living conditions, andcultural norms come into play

"EVERYONE SPEAKS ENGLISH, SO IT WILL BE AN EASY
TRANSITION"

A common misconception is thatEnglish is the only language you
need to know, wherever you travel.
![Page 12: Dispelling 5 Common Myths of International Relocation](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5877403e1a28ab342e8b68f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Besides being wildly presumptive,it’s also completely untrue. Not
everyone in every country speaksEnglish, let alone fluently.
[Plus, learning a new language opens up otherdoors for embracing a new culture]

TRAINING

Yet another misconceptionis that expats coming to the US do not need cultural training.
But, in fact, the US is a very different culture, and visitors are oftensurprised about the differences they were not expecting!
