How can we help you?

It depends on the employer. Many offer a relocation package that includes flights and accommodation. In Portugal, many jobs include accommodation and flights provided by the employer, making your move abroad much easier. In Greece, Malta and Madrid, companies often offer flights and temporary housing for the first few weeks while you search for your own place. These details are always clear in the job description or can be confirmed with your Yobbers recruiter. If you are looking for flights, we recommend you to look for your best options via Skyscanner.

Finding a place to live abroad depends on the country and employer. If accommodation isn’t included, our team can share useful tips and trusted platforms such as Spotahome and Housing Anywhere where you can find verified rentals abroad. These platforms are specifically aimed at international tenants. Through Yobbers, you receive a special 20% discount code. You can find these codes in our blog about finding accommodation abroad.

Before starting your job abroad, ensure you have arranged the essential documents such as your passport and insurances. It is wise to secure health insurance, travel insurance, and liability insurance covering your stay abroad for the transition period. Sometimes your employer provides health insurance or other coverages as part of your employment contract or relocation package, so always confirm what is arranged for you and what you need to organize yourself. If you plan to work abroad longer term, you generally need to register with the local municipality, open a bank account, and understand the taxation and social security conditions in your destination country. To support your preparation, consult our checklist and FAQ about working abroad for thorough guidance.

The key insurance to arrange is health insurance, as this is critical for accessing medical care abroad. You should arrange it as soon as possible after moving or verify if your employer provides it through your contract (this is often the case). In many countries it’s mandatory to have health coverage either from the employer or through a local or international insurer. Besides health insurance, travel insurance and liability insurance can offer valuable additional protection, especially for long stays. It is wise to have coverage secured early, even if the employer provides some insurance later, to avoid gaps in protection.

Starting your new job abroad is an exciting step! Most employers provide a training period of one to two weeks, so you can learn everything about your new role, the company culture, and daily routines. Your Yobbers recruiter and your employer’s team will stay in touch to make sure your start goes smoothly.

Yes, it’s often possible to bring your pet when you move abroad, especially if you arrange your own accommodation. Always check in advance whether pets are allowed in your new home and what the import rules are for animals in your destination country. If you stay in temporary housing or a hotel at first, pets are usually welcome, although this can vary. In shared accommodation, it’s not always possible to bring pets.
