Going to live abroad

Whether your journey is for study, work or volunteering in another country, you will need a place to stay during that time. Find what you will need to do and how to look for accommodation during your time abroad.

Your Europe gives you all the information you need about your rights and duties when living in a different country. If you are studying, working or still looking for a job, there are things you need to do when you move to a different country.

Where and how you look for a place to live depends a lot on the country and city you move to, so it’s important to get local information. Do not hesitate to get in touch with a Eurodesk Multiplier for further local support. When you live abroad, it’s also important to contact the local embassy of your country, as they can help you out as well.
