Immigration is a long and complex process in every sense. It involves numerous steps and details that cannot be overlooked: choosing a legal basis for moving, obtaining an entry visa, preparing and apostilling the necessary documents, finding housing in another country, deciding whether to move with family, and more.
Immigration specialists typically devote considerable attention to the preparation process and the move itself, but an equally important aspect often overlooked is adapting to the new country and integrating into local society.
Learning the language and culture of the country
When applying for a job, immigrants are typically required to speak the national language. However, even if this requirement is not imposed, living in the country without knowledge of the local language and an understanding of the culture can be quite difficult, especially in countries where English is not widely spoken.
To avoid problems understanding local traditions and difficulties finding a job, we recommend taking integration courses where immigrants can learn the country's national language, culture, and social life.
These courses are available in virtually all countries. For more information, please contact your country's embassy or consult with a specialist from our company.
Long-term support from NATLAN
The international consulting firm NATLAN helps clients obtain residence permits in Europe, Asia, and the United States. Assistance in obtaining a residence permit is not a one-time service – the client's work is not limited to collecting documents and obtaining a residence card.
Our specialists support clients for many years – until they obtain permanent residence status and citizenship (if necessary). We also handle all aspects of integrating the relocated family into the new society.
Interviews at the Embassy and Immigration Service
This section primarily concerns immigration to the United States. Obtaining any type of visa to the United States was problematic even before the geopolitical events of recent years. Many people encountered difficulties during the interview at the US Embassy and were denied a visa.
NATLAN's team has 15 years of experience in immigration, helping you prepare for your interview and minimizing your chances of rejection.
Selecting an Educational Institution for a Child
First and foremost, immigrants need to find a kindergarten and school for their children if they're relocating with their entire family. Navigating the educational system of another country can be extremely challenging, and application deadlines quickly expire. For this reason, we help clients find the perfect kindergarten, school, or university, taking into account all their preferences—location, program, language of instruction, and more.
Searching for Housing
Searching for housing is an equally important aspect of relocation. Independently searching for housing abroad and dealing with real estate agents and foreign owners can lead to unfavorable consequences, such as inflated rental or purchase prices, concealment of defects, and other factors that could hinder your decision to sign a contract.
We recommend that you contact a professional firm whose lawyers will review your lease or real estate purchase agreement, and the property will be inspected and appraised by specialists. This eliminates the risk of fraud, and you can save significantly on the transaction.
Business Management
If you are immigrating for the purpose of starting a business, it's important to remember that business processes and legislation vary significantly from country to country. Our specialists not only assist with business registration but also handle accounting for the new company.
Summary
After completing the process of moving to a new country, a new world opens up to immigrants—a place they've rarely or never visited before. Integration into the social life of a new country is essential, and it should be addressed from the very first days of your stay abroad.
NATLAN is ready to assist you with the adaptation period after your move and also take responsibility for ensuring your family's comfort—selecting an educational institution for your child, finding housing, and assisting with your business.
