Quick answer
The WhereNext Move Abroad Planner generates a personalised, phased relocation timeline for 95 destinations based on your move date, family status, and passport. 35+ steps per country span visas (application + supporting documents + apostille runs), finance (bank account, FX hedge, US-citizen FBAR registration), housing (long-term search timing, deposit planning, short-term landing), insurance (international health bridge + local enrolment), logistics (shipping vs sell-and-buy, pet relocation, schools), and post-arrival (bureaucracy, tax-residency timing, driver's licence conversion). Each step has estimated duration + dependency chain. Exports as checklist, markdown, or calendar (.ics) for relocation consultants or employers.
