90 days out
Decisions, paperwork and the things with long lead times.
Decide your first destination
One city, not a route. A first move with three legs booked is three chances to get it wrong.
Where should I start?Check passport validity
Many countries refuse entry with under six months remaining, and a renewal from abroad is slow. Store the scan now.
Document vaultCheck visa requirements for your passport
Entry days, whether an extension exists, and what immigration asks for on arrival.
City visa factsWork out whether you need a company
Only if you freelance. For most people with a real tax residency the honest answer is no — the tool will say so.
Eligibility checkStart your home tax-exit process
Deregistration deadlines are the slowest item on this list and the one most people discover too late.
Leaving your tax system
60 days out
Book the move and put the cover in place.
Book flights
Immigration often asks for proof of onward travel. A dated ticket answers that question in one screenshot.
Sort health insurance
Cover must start on or before your entry date, and nomad visa applications generally require proof of it.
Open a multi-currency account
Getting paid in one currency and spending in another is the single most expensive thing to leave unsolved.
Money optionsTell your clients
Time zones, invoicing details and where you will be. Do it before you go, not from an airport.
30 days out
Land the logistics and unwind things at home.
Book the first month's accommodation
One month only. Long leases signed from another continent are how people end up in the wrong neighbourhood.
Arrange mail forwarding
Tax authorities and banks still write letters, and a missed one can undo the paperwork above.
Cancel or suspend home services
Utilities, gym, transport passes, subscriptions. Notice periods are usually 30 days, which is why this sits here.
Photograph and upload every important document
Passport, visas, insurance, birth certificate, qualifications. Available offline once stored.
Document vault
7 days out
The last week. Most of this cannot be done after you land.
Buy your eSIM
Buy it before you fly. You cannot buy one after you land — activation needs a connection you will not have in the arrivals hall.
Download your data for offline use
City facts, visa rules and your documents, cached on the device.
Save your onward ticket and first address offline
Both are written on almost every arrival card, usually while you are standing in a queue with no signal.
Confirm your entry date in the tracker
This is the entry that starts your day counters. It becomes your first trip record.
Tracker
