Practicalities of working abroad

Here’s a useful checklist to make the process as painless as possible!

  • Change or update your driving licence.
  • Organise your visa or work permit.
  • Make sure your passport is valid for at least six more months.
  • Make photocopies of your passport, insurance documents and certificates.
  • Decide if you’re going to rent out your home while you’re away.
  • Map out your local embassy in the new country.

We’re upgrading our contact centre to make it quicker and easier for you to speak to the right member of our team.

From Thursday, 30 to  Friday, 31 October, our phone lines will be temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our systems. For any urgent enquiries during this time, please email membership@theiet.org and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

From Monday, 3 November, we’re moving to one central phone number for all enquiries. This change will make it easier to reach the right team quickly and improve your experience. 

Thank you for your patience as we improve how we connect with you.
