About the subject of emigration

Introduction

This website is about emigration and the type of support and services I provide in this respect.

Flexibility in personal, professional and tax matters may in some cases include the option of emigrating. Although this option does not come into question for some people because they feel attached to their home country, there are, on the other hand, many people who want to experience something new, begin something completely new in an entirely different environment, and get to know a new language and culture.

If you wish to emigrate, I can advise you on the various possibilities and visa regulations. If necessary, I can in addition do research to find the best options for you. This includes elaborating a personally tailored concept for you and advising you in accordance with your individual requirements. So what are you looking for? – Sun, beach and sea in a tax haven where you can retire and live in pleasure from your wealth or rather a place where you can build up a company that promises success? Those are, for example, questions which have to be clarified at the beginning to find the best place for you.

It is relatively easy – at least for people who have sufficient funds – to visit another country for a limited time. The visa regulations are different from country to country. Someone who wants to live in another country longer than 3-6 months or even permanently generally has considerably more hurdles to overcome, though these vary in size from country to country. It is important almost everywhere to have sufficient funds, not to have a criminal record, and be in good health.

Financial requirements

Concerning the financial foundation it is sufficient in many – particularly South American – countries to be able to prove that you have sufficient income for your livelihood in the long term. This can be a pension, surety, or assets, depending on the country’s regulations. However, the conditions vary from country to country.

Basically, we can say that you are welcome almost everywhere as an investor provided your investment is high enough. The investment usually has to be in the area of 5-7 figures. However, there are very great differences between the various countries concerning the minimum investment amount and types of investment.

In some countries it suffices to pay a certain amount into your own account there to be able to obtain a permanent residence permit.

Health requirements

The health requirements also vary considerably. In some countries it is sufficient for a doctor to certify that you are free from contagious and other serious diseases. In other countries, on the other hand, you have to fill in lengthy questionnaires about your current and past state of health and even diagnoses from the past are assessed like criminal offences for the issue of the visa, i.e. you are awarded minus points for both criminal offences and diseases, depending on the severity of the diagnosed illness or the registered offence and which can be crucial for the refusal of the visa.

The country of immigration may often also require the person wishing to immigrate to be examined by an official doctor.

About the (non)sense of the diagnosis cult

If you do not state all past diagnoses and the officials find this out, which should be no great problem for the immigration authorities with the present state of networking, the exchange of data between states and the data theft, it is very likely that your application for an immigration visa will be refused because you have omitted to state some important information.

Now I do not know anybody who still knows all the diagnoses which they have ever received from any doctor during their lifetime. In such a case, you must ask all the medical insurance organizations to which you have ever belonged to inform you about the diagnoses. If you forget to ask one  health insurance organization and do not state the diagnoses in question, you risk being considered a swindler by the immigration authority who is questioning you, and that will be the end of your dream of emigrating, at least for that country…

The one person who is safe is someone who has never been to the doctor in their life and thus has never received a diagnosis, for then nothing is registered. It is not important what was actually wrong with you, for example that you needed a few weeks respite from an awful job, but what diagnosis the doctor made to justify this rest. I hope you understand what I mean…

If you never went to the doctor when you were seriously ill and, above all, if no diagnosis or invoice was sent to a medical insurance organization, you officially never had this illness. But if you went to a doctor – for whatever reason – and possibly received an incorrect diagnosis – which happens relatively often –, that may possibly be a stigma which will accompany you lifelong, especially if this nonsense has been recorded by a medical insurance organization.

Prospects

I can advise and support you throughout the decision-making and emigration process. Making enquiries about the visa regulations is only one of the first steps in this. If necessary, we will contact a reliable lawyer specialized in immigration law.

During the course of my life, I have lived in various countries such as the Netherlands, England, California, Portugal, and Catalonia or Spain for a short or also longer time, and besides that I have also coached clients, in particular in the USA and China, and in that way got to know something about those countries. In addition, I have informed myself about the immigration conditions in several countries, in particular North, Central, and South America. In that way I have been able to gather detailed knowledge and gain especial experience. I provide my consultation and coaching on the basis of this.

With me as a coach you are not alone but always have somebody at your side to take care of you and the problems you are confronted with. You can find more details of this all-round support on my website www.woeckelcoaching.com.

My service for you

Fundamental questions

There are a lot of things to consider when emigrating, for example:

1.What are my personal requirements for emigrating like? Am I really prepared and free enough to leave everything behind in my homeland? Do I have special commitments to meet beforehand?

2.Which country might be the right one for me?

a.What should the natural conditions be like in the country of my desire? What is the weather like? Are there a lot of dangerous animals, epidemics, tropical diseases, or natural disasters there? What kind of climate is best for me?                                  

b.What would I like to do there? What professional opportunities do I have? What are the tax regulations like? (You can find basic information about taxation on my website www.campaign4taxfreedom.com.) How high is the cost of living? How safely can I live there? How high is the crime rate? What kind of freedom and restrictions await me there?

c.What are the immigration regulations? Do I have any chance at all of obtaining a permanent residence permit? How time-consuming and complicated or bureaucratic is the process of obtaining an immigration visa?

3.Would I like to and am I able to first of all live a few months in my target country with a visitor status to gain a personal impression of whether the target country is really suitable for me?

Type of service

I can provide you with my service as an emigration coach. My support consists both in giving concrete advice about the requirements in the different countries and in researching the countries you favour and, also and above all, in giving moral support in the decision-making process concerning emigration and getting accustomed to the new surroundings in your new homeland.

If necessary, my support can even go as far as accompanying you to the country of your choice for a few weeks or months and making all the important arrangements with you. These include finding and furnishing a flat, building up your business, and establishing social contacts.

Long-term, extensive coaching (over weeks, months or years) generally promises more sustainable success than only a short-term consultation – also depending, of course, on the amount of coaching you desire.

Mr. Frank Woeckel is helping me to emigrate

After Mr. Frank Woeckel had become my personal coach in 2007 and had analyzed my situation and figured out that I would like to learn more about other cultures and that I love to learn languages (at the moment French and English), he asked me what I would think about living for a while, or even forever, in another country. This would be the most efficient way to get used to another culture and also to learn another language.

We did a lot of research on different countries to find the most suitable place for me. We looked at the environmental aspects, the way the society works, at business opportunities and tax-related regulations, at the procedure to get a visa, the mentality of the people in these countries and much more. It was really interesting to gain so much knowledge about different countries all around the world.

I decided to apply for emigration to Canada. They speak English and French there so it would be good for practising the two languages I am learning now. I could also earn much more money for doing the same work I am doing now in China. Mr. Woeckel recommended that I go to a reliable emigration lawyer to ensure that all the paperwork is filled out and  processed perfectly.

Before Mr. Woeckel became my life coach and later also my emigration coach, I had not really thought about emigrating to another country because I had thought I was not qualified enough for emigration. But my emigration lawyer confirmed that I have a real chance to get the visa. My application is still being processed right now, but in the meantime Mr. Woeckel has found even more attractive countries for me to emigrate to. So I have various good choices and can be more flexible and feel free to go wherever I want to.

It is always a pleasure to talk to Mr. Frank Woeckel and hear all his great teachings and opinions. I am sure he will lead me to many extraordinary and wonderful possibilities to enrich my quality of life and achieve great goals. I thank Mr. Frank Woeckel for his reliable and excellent support and for opening the door to many fantastic new possibilities in my life.
