Preparing a Family Relocation Budget
A family plan must remain viable after the application stage.
Application stage
List assessments, documents, translations, applications, government fees, medicals, biometrics and professional support.
Travel stage
Include tickets, baggage, temporary accommodation, local transport and date-change risk for every traveller.
Settlement stage
Plan deposits, rent, utilities, food, childcare or school costs, communications and essential household purchases.
Income transition
Model the period before reliable income begins and a downside case where employment takes longer than expected.
Emergency reserve
Keep a separate contingency that is not already committed to tuition, fees or travel.
