  1. 00:00 Moving abroad is confusing. Twelve problems get in the way. Here is how this free planner handles each one.
  2. 00:04 Unclear routes? Choose a destination, your passport country and a profile.
  3. 00:07 Choose the passport you will use; residence can affect where and how you apply.
  4. 00:10 Requirements for your route are gathered in one place, with official sources and a check date.
  5. 00:14 Answer plain questions to see what may block you. A skipped question stays unknown, never a no. This is not a promise of approval.
  6. 00:20 Separate non-refundable expenses from proof of funds; partial budgets are labelled.
  7. 00:27 Missing documents? Pick your route and the checklist rebuilds itself, with why each item matters.
  8. 00:34 Rules change. A dated feed logs official changes, each linked to the page it came from.
  9. 00:38 Source checks are dated, and the index counts any older than six months. Check the official page yourself before you act.
  10. 00:41 Language barrier? See what level a route actually needs, and how long it takes to learn.
  11. 00:46 Housing rules and food labelling, such as allergen rules, are in each living guide. Preview — under verification.
  12. 00:52 Where nothing is sourced yet, the page says so instead of guessing. Preview — under verification.
  13. 00:56 Arrival tasks come in the order they must happen. What we do not know is listed too.
  14. 01:02 Scams? Seven questions give a read on an overseas job agent. Nothing you answer is sent to us.
  15. 01:08 Keeping a plan? Four taps build it, and you tick off steps. It is saved in this browser only, with no account.
  16. 01:15 Coverage is labelled. Germany is open. The other countries are labelled Preview — under verification.
  17. 01:21 All website guidance and tools are free. Visa fees, travel, rent and other third-party costs still apply.
