The Move Abroad Toolkit is six execution tools — built to turn the decision you've been sitting on into a plan you can actually follow.
You've read the articles. You've watched the videos. You know the D7 visa exists, you know your dollar goes further in Cape Town than Chicago, you know you want to go.
The problem is that information without a decision framework is just more tabs to close. Here's what that looks like:
Every tool is built around a specific decision or action — not content for content's sake. If you already have the information, these are what you use it with.
Answer 8 questions about your income type, age, timeline, and target countries. The decision tree tells you exactly which visa you qualify for — and what the application actually requires. Not a list of options. A decision.
Pick your target country, your income, your accommodation type, and your lifestyle. The calculator gives you a full monthly breakdown — rent, food, transport, health, utilities — adjusted for purchasing power, not just the exchange rate. It also tells you right there whether your income meets the visa threshold. No more guessing what "affordable" actually means for your number.
The Budget Calculator tells you what life costs once you're there. This tells you how to get there — and how long you can last. Input your assets: home equity, savings, car value, belongings estimate. Input your target country. The calculator gives you your runway in months, your go date, and your exact liquidation sequence. Stage O of the M.O.V.E. Method™ made into a working tool.
One checklist per visa type. Not "you'll need bank statements" — the exact document, the exact format, the notarization requirement, the apostille step most people confuse for the same thing, and the correct submission channel. I had one document error on my South Africa application. This checklist exists because of that error.
A scouting trip is not a vacation. It's a structured reality test — and if you do it like a tourist, you leave with a feeling instead of an answer. This methodology is what I developed across scouting trips in South Africa and France. 47 items. You don't do all 47. You do the ones that apply to your situation — and you leave knowing whether you're going.
A Notion template reverse-engineered from your move date. At 90 days out you're selling, canceling, and transferring. At 30 days you're finalizing. At 7 days you're packing and confirming. The planner tells you exactly what to do at each stage — so nothing falls through the cracks and your move date actually holds. Duplicates directly into your Notion account in under five minutes.
Every tool maps to a specific stage of the M.O.V.E. Method™ — the four-phase relocation framework that sequences every decision in the right order. Most people fail because they skip Stage O and go straight to booking flights. The toolkit makes sure you don't.
The 90-Day Pre-Departure Planner starts here — your timeline, your vision, your non-negotiables.
The Budget Calculator shows what life costs there. The Financial Runway Calculator shows how you fund getting there. Both live in Stage O.
The Visa Decision Tree + Checklists + Scouting Trip Methodology live here. Choose where. Get legal. Go test it.
The first 30 days action plan inside the Pre-Departure Planner. Land and set up your actual life.
Your income type determines which visa you qualify for — and most people don't know that until they're deep in the application. The decision tree settles it in minutes.
Not a vague sense of "it's cheaper." A real monthly number — rent, food, transport, health — adjusted for PPP, with your visa income check built in.
Not a vague sense that you "probably have enough." A real calculation: your assets, your target country, your runway in months, your go date.
Tourists take scouting trips and come home with photos. The methodology turns your trip into a structured answer about whether you're moving there or not.
The Financial Runway Calculator covers the asset liquidation path — selling your house, your car, your belongings — not just remote salary. This is how I funded my own move.
The 90-Day Pre-Departure Planner works backward from your move date. Every task in the right order, at the right time. Nothing falls through the cracks.
More research won't make you more ready. The toolkit gives you the decision framework — not more content. At some point you have to book the flight.
If you're still in the dreaming stage — no target countries, no timeline, no real intention to go in the next year — the toolkit isn't where you start. Start with the free M.O.V.E. Method™ guide and the Country Finder Quiz. Come back to the toolkit when you're ready to execute.
