How timelines adapt

Every region, visa, and arrival date gets its own sequence

This sample shows one possible flow, but the order reshuffles automatically using rules for your country, province/state, visa conditions, and required lead times. Tasks move up or down when a local authority mandates it.

We check processing windows, blackout periods, and seasonal slowdowns.
Dates and dependencies recalc whenever you change your move date.

The app pulls government and service-provider guidance to build the timeline that best matches your context.

Groups

Peer answers + official context

Every destination gets curated groups inside SettleRight. Join by country, province/state, visa, or special interest to see what members are asking, vote on answers, and share templates that actually work.

  • Moderated, searchable threads that sync with your task list.
  • Official answers are pinned and linked to government sources.
  • Ask anonymous follow-ups when you need context that isn’t in guides.
