SIM & mobile
Get a local number early — most banking, deliveries, and verifications depend on it.
First 30 days
Land, then get set up without the scramble.
The first month abroad is a flurry of admin. SettlyAI sequences it into a clear arrival-week and first-30-days checklist so nothing critical slips.
Arrival essentials
The setup that unlocks everything else.
Bank account

Healthcare
Enroll in health coverage and find a nearby clinic and pharmacy.

Power, water, and home internet — sorted before your first work week.

Move from your first-stay base into a longer lease once you've tested the area.

Save emergency numbers and the local maps, transport, and delivery apps.
