EMPLOYER RELOCATION CHECKLIST

For HR and mobility teams — not individual applicants. A free, generic workflow list when you sponsor or relocate an employee internationally: compliance, what to tell the employee, and first-month onboarding.

Use MigrantIQ corridor and visa hubs (24 high-intent corridors published) when briefing relocating employees.

 * Download a plain-text checklist for Notion, Confluence, or email
 * Point employees to destination country and visa guides — not agent WhatsApp threads
 * Share scam-alert hubs so staff avoid fake “priority processing” fees

For employers hub [/for/employers/]Visa directory [/visas/]Scam alerts [/scam-alerts/]

Read the checklist on this page, or download a text file to paste into Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, or email. Pair it with our corridor guides [/move/] and visa hubs [/visas/] for each destination.

SAVE FOR YOUR TEAM

Optional: add your company name, then download a plain-text checklist. The .md file opens in any editor and pastes cleanly into HR wikis, Slack, or onboarding docs — no MigrantIQ account required.

Planning reference only — not legal advice. Confirm immigration rules with licensed counsel for each country.

PRE-OFFER & COMPLIANCE

 * Confirm work authorization route (visa category, LMIA/equivalent, sponsorship).
 * Document salary, role, start date, and reporting location in writing.
 * Assign internal owner for immigration counsel and payroll setup.

EMPLOYEE SUPPORT (30–90 DAYS BEFORE MOVE)

 * Share official government links — not third-party “guaranteed visa” agents.
 * Provide relocation budget estimate (housing deposit, flights, temporary accommodation).
 * Offer document checklist aligned with destination visa requirements.
 * Clarify health insurance gap between departure and local coverage start.

ARRIVAL & ONBOARDING

 * Tax ID / social insurance registration timeline.
 * Bank account and payroll deposit setup.
 * Emergency contacts and scam-awareness briefing (rental fraud, fake agents).

ONGOING

 * Track permit/visa expiry and renewal windows.
 * Annual review of corridor policy changes affecting sponsored staff.
