Important details to note during your first week abroad.

We recommend booking 2 weeks of short-term accommodation (homestay, hostel, or temporary student lodge) before departing. Once you arrive, you can tour local rental properties, verify roommates, and sign formal contracts safely.

Once you clear immigration, you can apply online for your tax identity number (e.g., TFN in Australia, SIN in Canada, National Insurance in UK) via the official government portal. It typically takes 10–20 days to arrive by mail.
