A New Life Abroad
Relocation Information
Obtaining a visa that entitles you to live and work in a different country is far from being a straight forward process.
Timing can be crucial
Countries often impose quotas to regulate the number of people arriving in the country. So your application could be turned down simply because you applied at the wrong time.
Officialdom
Even some of the most carefully prepared visa applications can be rejected for seemingly the slightest of reasons. Embassy officials are under no obligation to explain why an application has been rejected, so you could easily find yourself turned down without understanding why and unable to rectify the situation. Above all, it's important to realise that it is the embassy official's job to look for reasons to reject - not accept - your application! Also the success of your application may depend on the pass or pool mark in force at the time your application is assessed - not at the time it is lodged.
Expertise
These are some of the reasons why so many people who wish to live abroad turn to us. We know each country's immigration legislation back to front. Not just as it relates to employment, but as it relates to all the categories of migration permitted by each government - many of which are not public knowledge. So our recommended route may be one which you had not contemplated - or even thought possible!
Up to the minute knowledge
We constantly monitor amendments to immigration law. So we will be aware of changes to points systems, or the introduction of new quotas that may influence the timing of your application.

Special Visa Routes
1. Investing Abroad
Not all categories of migration are related to business or employment.
If you are willing to make certain types of visa-qualifying investment, or if you are simply prepared to transfer a sum of money to your chosen country for a specified period of time, you may be eligible for entry, regardless of your age or career background. So this could well be your best course of action if you have no desire to work in your new country, or if you are retired or wish to retire overseas.
A new life abroad's knowledge of different countries' investment-linked migration policies and threshold requirements will be invaluable in helping you to establish the best way forward.
Your capital will need to be tied up in order for you to qualify for certain categories of visa - and at how totally secure your investment can be when larger sums are required
A new life abroad will provide you with the essential facts that will enable you to choose the investment that is not only right for you financially but, most importantly, that meets with the requirements of your visa.

4. Corporate visas
A new life abroad is a world wide relocation specialist with extensive experience of assisting individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and occupations with all aspects of starting a new life abroad.
We have harnessed this expertise to provide the corporate market with cost-effective solutions to some of the chief areas of concern for any organisation that sends employees on international assignments - or that is involved in recruiting candidates from overseas.
Organisations around the world are expanding their international operations and sending growing numbers of employees on overseas assignments. Transferring staff across national boundaries gives rise to many complex and time-consuming tasks that must be performed. Tasks that are vital to the success of international assignments, but which the majority of organisations have neither the expertise nor the resources to handle in-house.
A new life abroad is an established worldwide relocation specialist with extensive experience of assisting people from all backgrounds and occupations to achieve a new life abroad – securing their visas and permits and assisting with many other aspects of relocating overseas.
We possess an in-depth knowledge of the immigration laws of each country and region. Our lawyers are highly experienced in the preparation and submission of applications for all types of visas and work permits - including intra-company transfers. This breadth of experience makes us ideally equipped to handle the time-consuming preparation and submission of intra-company transfers, visas and permits on behalf of corporate clients who are sending employees on international assignments - or who are involved in recruiting candidates from overseas.
Companies that face growing challenges caused by partner career issues will find our services of particular value. This is because the vast majority of our private clients need to find employment in their new countries - indeed, in many cases the success of their visa application will depend on it.
Our involvement has always extended beyond the visa itself. We advise clients on the likely demand for their skills and experience in their chosen destinations. Where necessary, we arrange credentials evaluations to ensure clients' qualifications will be recognised by local employers. We notify clients of any additional regulations specific to their occupation, such as the need for licensing or accreditation by a professional or trade body - and help them comply. Once clients receive an employment offer, we liaise with their future employer to ensure that any specific visa criteria are complied with.

5. Employee transfers
Transferring staff across national boundaries
A new life abroad can also assist with many of the other relocation issues that arise from transferring staff across national boundaries - such as home and school searches, cross-cultural training and even removals and transportation.
So if your organisation sends employees abroad, our involvement could take a huge administrative burden off your shoulders - and help to resolve some of the partner career issues that are increasingly proving a barrier to the success of international assignments.
It goes without saying that we will take care of all the necessary visa and permit applications for employees' partners and children.
And in cases where the partner wishes to continue his or her career in their new country, our involvement will be invaluable. For a start, they will need a different category of visa or permit. Then there will be a whole range of other issues to address. They may need a credentials evaluation, to ensure that their qualifications will be recognised by local employers. Depending on their occupation, they may also need to be licensed or accredited by a professional or trade body before they are permitted to take up employment.
Then they will need to find a job. In fact, the right offer of employment could be essential to the success of their application.
To achieve this, they will need information on the current employment market in their destination in order to establish where their skills and experience may be in demand. Then they will have to identify suitable opportunities with local employers. No easy task from thousands of miles away! They may not realise that the accepted format for CVs differs considerably from one country to another. Or that prospective employers require reassurance that they themselves will not need to become involved in visa hassles.
With A new life abroad on the case, all these aspects will be addressed. We will tailor partners CV to the requirements of local employers. We will provide advice on performance at interview stage, if required. Then we will liaise with their new employer to ensure that the job offer and accompanying contractual documentation meets the requirements of their visa.
