What are the things you need to think about before migrating?


It is every Filipino’s dream to move to a place where it is far from crime, bad weather, low income, and yes the traffic of course.  Many, if not all yearn to relocate to a foreign country and start brand new lives there – to start families there.  But of course, you need to be prepared in doing so.  What are the things that everyone needs to think about before actually moving from one country to another?


The Language

Many people disregard the language as one of the most important factors in migrating to a certain region.  If you plan on migrating to a country where English is the medium language used and you know for a fact that you can speak the language, then no problems for you.  But what if you plan on moving to a country where not everyone can speak English?  This is where learning a new language takes place.  Take note that languages are not as easy as you think, it may sound simple but it can be one of the most difficult adjustments as well.

The Cost of Living

Of course, you also need to reassure that you are capable of sustaining yourself once you move or travel from one place to another.  Food, transportation, your shelter, and utilities all fall under this category.  How are you going to live properly if you aren’t aware of the expenses, right?  You might become broke or you might be bankrupt and we do not want that to happen would we?  So you better do your research before actually jumping in to the fact of migration.

Job and Education

Well, money is not something that is just given to you and money is the thing that you need in order to maintain you as a person, correct?  So you have to consider the “in-demand” jobs and professions of the country you are looking at.  Of course, you need to make sure that what you will do can earn you more than your job here in our country.  Education on the other hand is also a big factor and why?  Because there will come a time where you would seek another knowledge for you to be employed in a certain industry – because it pays well.  And of course when you plan to start a family, you would have to send them to school – this is why you need education planned as well.
