What setup starts after the immigration decision
Four sourced actions from each relocation checklist show the sequence beyond visa approval. The linked country guides contain the complete registration, health, tax, banking, housing and renewal context.
Republic of Mauritius
Mauritius uses different residence and work permissions. An Occupation Permit can combine work and residence for defined categories, while employment generally requires both residence and work approval; a visitor or business entry is not a work route.
Before travel
Write down whether the activity is local employment, self-employment, investment, retirement, study, family residence or remote work.
On arrival
Check the permit activity, employer, duration and conditions against the approval.
First month
Confirm salary payment, work-permit and employer obligations with payroll.
Later
Calendar every residence, work, dependant, passport and tax renewal separately.
Taiwan (Republic of China)
Choose the permission that matches your work and family situation first. Then organise your residence record, address, bank account and health cover as separate tasks: an ARC is not automatic health-insurance enrolment or proof of tax residence.
Before travel
Match the actual job to the work category, or establish Gold Card eligibility.
On arrival
On an ordinary resident visa, apply for the ARC within 30 days; use the separate collection process if holding a Gold Card.
First month
Confirm the branch document list, attend the appointment and test the local account.
Later
Review residence and work approvals before changing jobs, and calendar passport and permit expiries.
