Do I have to inform the government that I am leaving?

  • Whether or not you should contact the government prior to your departure depends on your personal situation. You should consider:
    • How long you will be gone, as the length of your stay abroad will affect your taxes, and your right to receive government sponsored health benefits and pensions.
    • If you have properties or holdings in your home country.
  • We recommend that you thoroughly investigate your own situation before leaving and contact an accountant for advice.
