   Learn a bit about the country, local customs (very important), language (even more important) and areas. Also learn if it's a peaceful country and how to immigrate. Know that moving to a place that is nothing like your home will give you culture shock and make the move much more difficult.
3. 3
   Go on holiday to the country so you can see it first hand. Guidebooks are all very nice but it's not quite the same. Also don't hang out in the tourist areas, get off the beaten track and mix with the locals!

5. 5
   If you have property to sell in your own country, make sure you have all the legal aspects in place before you embark on buying or renting in your new country
6. 6
   If you have pets that will be coming with you, make sure the proper documentation (pet passport) for entry into the country are gathered well in advance, as well as any vaccinations that your pet may require.
7. 7
   Watch property programs like 'Relocation Relocation' or 'Home & away abroad' or 'grand Designs' (UK TV networks or online)
8. 8
   Go see the local authority (mayor, immigration office, your embassy) to find out what you need to do to become an immigrant and what forms you'll need for health care, insurance, driving, etc.
