Based on “Expat Settlement Experience Curve”

The Expat Settlement Experience Curve is a concept used to describe how the experience of expats in a new location improves over time as they adapt to their new environment.

It suggests that initial challenges, such as cultural adjustment, language barriers, social and economic hardship, are most pronounced in the early stages of settlement.

It usually takes 24-36 months for expatriates to fully settle into their new country.

The guidebook addresses the most common questions and concerns faced by expatriates:

  • How to choose a city to move to?

  • Where to start in the new place?

  • How to plan the adaptation process?

  • How to cope with post-migration depression?

  • How to find new opportunities?

  • How to overcome resistance to adaptation?

  • How to organize your networking?

  • How to build the life of your dreams?
