For most jobs, it is complicated to take pets with you. Most of the time, if there is accommodation offered, it is not suitable for animals. There are also laws about bringing animals into a country, and be aware that you often work 40 hours a week. So, in our experience, it is rather complicated to take your pet abroad. But the choice is yours, of course!

When you work abroad, it is necessary to have health insurance, travel insurance, and liability insurance. It is important to consider which insurance suits you best. Sometimes, the employer abroad may provide health insurance. Always inquire with your employer about what they can arrange for you.

Generally, your partner can join you for the new chapter abroad. Sometimes accommodation is offered by the employer. In this case, the accommodations are only offered to people employed by the employer.

For most of the vacancies we offer, it is difficult to go abroad with children because the salary is often insufficient to support your family. Besides that, the employer often expects you to work full time and it can be hard to find a nanny. Living and working abroad with children also poses some organizational problems. In our experience, it is therefore rare that your children can accompany you abroad for the positions we currently offer.
