Expat Pathway Engine • Build Your Relocation Blueprint

Step 1: Get A Passport (The Non-Negotiable Key)

Before analyzing visas, taxes, or cost-of-living budgets, you must hold a valid passport with at least 6 to 12 months of validity remaining.

🛂

FOUNDATION CHECK: NO PASSPORT = NO RUNWAY

Even with $0.00 in the bank, getting your passport activates international mobility, unlocks 1-year visa-free bilateral countries (e.g. Albania, Georgia), and takes 6–8 weeks to process. It is your first physical asset.

📘 Valid Passport (12+ Mo)

Ready to travel immediately. Meets all airline and Schengen entry criteria.

⏳ Expiring Soon (< 6-12 Mo)

Needs urgent renewal. Most countries deny entry if validity is under 6 months.

📬 In Progress / Applied

Documents submitted to the passport agency, awaiting delivery within 4–8 weeks.

🛑 Need To Apply (Step 1)
