Sorting this out properly saves you a lot of hassle later, think fines, gaps in cover, or letters asking you to repay money you weren't entitled to once you'd left. Rules and deadlines differ by country and can change, so treat this as a starting point and always double-check the specifics with your own municipality, insurer or benefits office. - URL: https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/working-abroad/tips-and-tricks/deregistering-before-moving-abroad - Category: Tips & tricks - Author: Lieke - Published: 21 August, 2026 - Tags: living abroad, remote working, working abroad, Bulgaria, living in Bulgaria, working in Bulgaria, Greece, living in Greece, working in Greece, Malta, Portugal, working in Portugal, Spain, living in Spain, and working in Spain ### [Working abroad: what your first weeks are really like](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/working-abroad/tips-and-tricks/working-abroad-first-weeks-what-to-expect) When you start working abroad, your new life starts there too, but it is not waiting for you ready-made.

Working abroad might be it](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/experiences/permanent-job/no-plan-after-university-working-abroad-gap-year) Everyone seems to have a plan. University, an internship, a clear next step. And then there's you, finishing school with no real answer when people ask what's next. That pressure is loud, but it's not the same thing as failing. Not having a plan is actually the moment to make one, and your plan doesn't have to be a five-year career map. A year working abroad is one of the most realistic options out there: a paid job, sometimes even housing arranged, and a way to figure out what comes next while you're actually living, not waiting. - URL: https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/experiences/permanent-job/no-plan-after-university-working-abroad-gap-year - Category: Permanent job - Author: Leandra - Published: 29 May, 2026 - Tags: career, living abroad, working abroad, and Yobbers ### [Living in Spain: Valencia or Alicante? Julia's experience](https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/working-in-spain-valencia-alicante-experience-julia) Julia had done everything she was supposed to do. Good job, good city, good life on paper. But somewhere along the way she had started noticing a gap between the life she was living and the one she actually wanted. Nothing was wrong. But that was exactly the thing. When she found a Customer service role in Spain via Yobbers, she applied without overthinking it. Getting the job came quickly. Deciding between Valencia and Alicante did not. Both cities kept pulling her in different directions, similar on the surface, completely different in feel. To experience how it would be like to live in both, she booked a long weekend in each and went to find out for herself. In this blog she shares how she compared both cities, why she eventually chose Valencia and what daily life in Spain actually looks like once you live there. - URL: https://www.yobbers.com/en/blog/inspiration/travel-inspiration/working-in-spain-valencia-alicante-experience-julia - Category: Travel inspiration - Author: Leandra - Published: 25 May, 2026 - Tags: customer service, experience, living abroad, Spain, living in Spain, Valencia, and Alicante ### [Working in Greece: Athens or remote?
