Home / Move
Go from where you are to where you're going.
Seven stages, one journey. Most services handle stage four and disappear — the other six are where the friction lives.
01
Eligibility
What pathways may actually apply, and which are a stretch.
The stage most people skip and later regret. It is not a quiz — it is an honest read of your record against criteria that are read narrowly. A good assessment tells you which criteria you can evidence today, which you could evidence with work, and which are out of reach. Knowing the third category early saves years.
02
Preparation
What has to be true before you file.
Usually the longest stage and the least discussed. If a criterion requires evidence you do not yet have, the answer is to go and earn it. This is where the timeline actually lives — months or years, depending on how many criteria you are genuinely missing.
03
Legal
Working with a licensed professional, with the right oversight.
Where a matter needs legal judgement it goes to a licensed professional in the relevant jurisdiction. What we do is make sure the record is organised before it reaches them, because that is where their time is best spent.
04
Filing
The application itself.
Handled through appropriate legal and service partners. The filing is deadline-driven, with document formats, fees and procedural rules that vary by route and by consular post.
05
Relocation
Housing, banking, insurance, documentation, logistics.
Everything that is trivial until it is not. Banking access, somewhere to live, insurance that recognises your history, and documents that translate. The friction here is administrative rather than legal, and it is where most of the daily stress of a move lives.
06
Arrival
Establishing yourself somewhere new.
The first weeks: registration, tax identity, healthcare access, and the unglamorous sequence of tasks that make a place workable. Doing this well is mostly about knowing the order.
07
Post-move
The part most services abandon you at.
Ongoing mobility and professional life. Status maintenance, renewal timelines, dependant circumstances — a move is not an event but a continuing condition. Most advisers disappear after the approval; the obligations do not.
For companies
The same infrastructure runs in the other direction. If you already have the person and the problem is getting them here, that is a mobility problem rather than a recruiting problem. See talent mobility for companies →

Stage one is a twenty-minute conversation.
Eligibility decides everything downstream, and it is the stage people get wrong before they have spent anything. Bring the record and we will tell you which route it actually supports.
