International Relocation
Dispelling 5 Common
Myths
WHR Group
YOU DON’T NEED A
WORK VISA IF YOU’RE
GOING TO A COUNTRY
FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS
1.
If you are going to perform productive work
for an employer in a country where you are
not eligible to work, then, regardless of the
time spent, most countries will require you
to obtain a work visa.
While certain business trips are permitted,
workers cannot technically
work (exchange physical or
mental labor for money)
without a work visa
ONCE YOUR ORGANIZATION
APPROVES YOUR NEW POSITION
IN THE NEW COUNTRY, IT’S OK
TO GO THERE IMMEDIATELY AND
START WORKING
2.
Organizational approval of your new position
is only half the battle.
A work visa approval grants you the
permission to begin work in a new country
immediately.
Keep in mind...
Visa approval process varies by
country
Can take weeks to months before
receiving your visa!
"I’LL BE ABLE TO GET A VERY
SIMILAR HOME IN THE NEW
LOCATION"
3.
A different location means different
standards, including what is
important in a home:
Outdoor spaces versus larger kitchens
Smaller everything in comparison to U.S.
“norms”
Housing issues vary around the world as
economic standing, living conditions, and
cultural norms come into play
"EVERYONE SPEAKS ENGLISH,
SO IT WILL BE AN EASY
TRANSITION"
4.
A common misconception is that
English is the only language you
need to know, wherever you travel.
Besides being wildly presumptive,
it’s also completely untrue. Not
everyone in every country speaks
English, let alone fluently.
[Plus, learning a new language opens up other
doors for embracing a new culture]
EXPATRIATES COMING TO THE
US DON’T NEED CULTURAL
TRAINING
5.
Yet another misconception
is that expats coming to the US do not need cultural training.
But, in fact, the US is a very different culture, and visitors are often
surprised about the differences they were not expecting!
WHR Group helps transferring employees by
making moves simple, smooth, and enjoyable.
