Your starting point
Build a route around your citizenship, work, household and needs. A personal profile helps you ask the right questions; it does not establish eligibility.
For a family, location and housing decisions should follow children's practical needs rather than precede them. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.
Work through the decision
Contact schools early
Ask about places, entry stage, language support, documents and the family's expected arrival date.
Maintain care
Discuss records, medication and ongoing treatment with clinicians before departure.
Build a routine
Include school journeys, outdoor time, familiar activities and a manageable settling-in period.
Adapt this to your circumstances
Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.
Sources and checks
AIMA — residence procedures — an official starting point for this topic. The relevant page, its scope and effective date must be checked before a consequential decision.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs — consular documentation. Follow the post competent for your current residence.
No market prices, eligibility thresholds or legal deadlines have been invented for this guide. Dates in personal planning tools are suggestions or values you supply.
