Moving Timeline Planner
Pick your target move date and tell us a little about your move. We'll turn the master checklist into dated, month-by-month tasks you can check off, print, or save as a PDF.
My moving timeline
Why a timeline beats a to-do list
Many moving tasks depend on each other. Documents need apostilles before a consulate appointment. Pet vaccinations have waiting periods. Some visas require documents issued within the last 90 days, so getting them too early can be as bad as too late. A dated plan keeps those dependencies in order.
For the full explanation of each step, read the moving abroad checklist, then see moving abroad with pets and apostilles and background checks.
Common questions
How early should I start?
About 12 months before your move is ideal when you need a visa, are selling a home, or are moving pets. If your date is closer, the planner flags tasks you need to catch up on.
Does it save my progress?
Yes, on this device. Check items off and they'll still be checked when you return. Nothing is uploaded.
Is the timeline the same for every country?
No. Visa processing times, document validity windows, and pet import rules vary. Use the planner as your backbone and adjust it with your destination's requirements from our country guides.
