90 days
Typical year-one integration window, housing, schools, healthcare and banking sequenced against the visa clock.
BEYOND LAUNCH · RELOCATION & SETTLEMENT
Arrival is not a date. It is a calendar.
Housing, schools, healthcare and the practical month-by-month, coordinated with visas, payroll and the operating plan so year one reads as one story, not six vendors.
Most relocations fail in the first school term.
The visa is the visible part. The housing shortlist, the admissions timeline, the healthcare registration and the first ninety days of banking are where relocations succeed or quietly stall. We treat them as the plan, not as paperwork after the stamp.
What a sequenced arrival actually changes.
Three horizons we hold on one calendar.

Where we focus in year one.
Housing & neighbourhood fit
Shortlists built around commute, schooling proximity and lease structures that match how long you intend to stay.
Schools & admissions
International and local options, admissions timelines chosen before the visa route is filed, not after.
Healthcare & registration
Coverage, providers and the registrations that keep a family operational in the first weeks, not an afterthought.
How a relocation route moves.
Four steps. The family calendar leads.
Plan
Arrival date, school start, housing handover and payroll go-live on one sheet, before any lease is signed.
Shortlist
Neighbourhood and property options screened for schooling, healthcare access and the practical realities of daily life.
Admissions
Applications, interviews and deposits sequenced so the school term and the visa term do not collide.
Ground operations
Banking, utilities, registrations and the first month of check-ins, coordinated until the move feels settled.
We do not hand off at the airport.
Most advisors stop at the visa. We stay through the school term, the lease renewal and the year-one integration, the months where a relocation either compounds or quietly fails.
