Often lured by the prospect of higher rewards, developing career prospects or an interest in foreign travel, thousands of qualified people seek employment abroad every year. Whatever the reason and however long you plan to stay, moving overseas is not just about deciding what to take with you.

Fully revised and updated, this new edition covers all the major considerations that need to be taken into account, including: the overseas job market; terms and conditions of employment; arranging your finances; preparing your family; your children's education; health and medical matters; the move itself; and returning home.There is practical information on the tax regimes many of the countries surveyed, as well as a comprehensive directory of useful contacts. Numerous country profiles span the European Union, leading EU accession states, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia, providing insights into living and working conditions from Austria to Papua New Guinea.
