For business professionals
From entry and work rules to documents, flights, a place to stay, cover, eSIM and money, and back home again. StudentFlow organises the whole trip and links the official page for every regulated step, with the date we checked it.
Checked against official sources on
Who it’s for
For people who travel or relocate for work. If you are going to study, the student planner is the better fit. If you are moving to settle, see the newcomer planner.
Meetings, conferences or site visits, then back home.
A trip for meetings, conferences, site visits or training, after which you go home. Official visitor pages list which business activities are allowed and which are not.
Read the guideMy employer sends me abroad for a defined period.
Your employer sends you to work abroad for a defined period. That usually involves an official work route tied to the role, and often a letter or sponsor documents from your employer.
Read the guideI have, or am arranging, a job offer in another country.
You have, or are arranging, a job offer from an employer in another country. The official skilled-worker or work-permit pages explain how the employer and you each take part.
Read the guideRunning or starting my own business abroad.
You run or are starting your own business abroad. Entrepreneur and self-employment routes open, pause and close, so the status on the official page matters.
Read the guideWorking for my current employer or clients from abroad.
You keep working for your current employer or clients while based abroad. Immigration, tax and social security rules can all apply, and there is often no single official page for it.
Read the guideWe will point you to the official tools.
A mix of the above, or you are not sure yet. We point you to the official tools and suggest speaking to your employer’s mobility team or a licensed adviser.
How it works
Five phases, in order. Your dates count back from your outbound travel date, and each task links to the official page or the guide that matters.
Before you commit to dates
Find the official page for your kind of trip and agree who signs off.
While you prepare
Get your passport, letters and supporting papers ready in the format asked for.
Once you know you can travel
Flights, airport transfer, somewhere to stay, cover, eSIM and money, in a sensible order.
While you are there
Cross the border with the right papers, keep receipts and stay safe online.
After you are back
Close the trip: expense claims, records and tax-day awareness.
Destinations
All four are live. Each page lists the official entry pages by trip type, a five-phase plan, costs to plan for and the services professionals usually need.
IRCC pages for business visitors and work permits, CRA pointers and the plan for your trip.
Home Affairs visitor and work pages, ATO pointer and the plan for your trip.
GOV.UK entry pages by trip type, tax-residency pointers and the plan for your trip.
Federal Foreign Office visa pages, BZSt pointer and the plan for your trip.
Honest by design
Immigration and tax advice are regulated activities, and they should be. So we stay on the side of the line where we can be most useful: organising the trip and pointing to the official sources.
Services
Everything on your checklist works without buying anything. These are the services people most often want next to the step they belong to. Booking is optional, and your employer’s travel policy comes first.

Quick answers
It is for people who travel or relocate for work: short business trips, employer assignments, job relocations, founders and the self-employed, and remote workers. You tell us the country, the type of trip and your dates, and we turn it into one checklist from entry rules to your return.
No. Whether a visa, permit or business-visitor route applies depends on your nationality, your activities and the rules at the time, and only the authority or a licensed adviser can say. We link the official visa-check tool and the page for your trip type, and your employer’s mobility or legal team confirms what applies.
No. StudentFlow is not a licensed immigration consultant, lawyer or tax adviser. We organise your tasks and link official sources, including the tax authorities’ residency pages, so you know where the rules are published. For advice on your case, speak to your employer’s team or a licensed professional.
The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany are all live. Each has a page with the official entry pages by trip type, a five-phase plan, costs to plan for and the services professionals usually need.
You can plan the logistics and see what to check. Rules for working remotely from another country can involve immigration permission, tax and social security, and they differ by country. Our guide lists the questions to ask and the official pages to read; it does not tell you whether remote work is allowed.
Optional services sit next to the step they belong to: flights, airport transfer, stays, business travel cover, eSIM and forex. Booking is optional, availability depends on our partners, and you see the price before you pay. Check your employer’s travel policy first.
Planning your trip is free. If you choose an optional service through StudentFlow, the provider may pay us a commission. It does not change the price you see.
Yes, talk to us. Employers who send people abroad can get in touch about onboarding travellers, and consultants can manage their clients’ journeys. Consultants are responsible for holding any licence the law requires.
StudentFlow organises your trip and links official sources. It does not give immigration, tax or legal advice, and it is not a licensed immigration consultant, lawyer or tax adviser. Your employer’s mobility or legal team, or a licensed adviser, decides what applies to your case. View this page as plain markdown.
Tell us the country, the type of trip and your travel dates. Your checklist is ready in a few minutes.
Free to plan. No card needed. Not legal or immigration advice.
