For families

Give your kids the life abroad you keep picturing. Without rolling the dice on them.

You can see it. The kids growing up bilingual, slower mornings, a different relationship with the world. What stops you is not whether you want it. It is the weight of getting it wrong for someone who did not choose this: the wrong school, a pediatrician you cannot reach, a visa that covers you but somehow not them, a neighbourhood that looked fine online and is not. That fear is reasonable. It is also the exact thing a plan is for.

How it helps

How Nomad helps families move

A family move is really five moves at once: schools, healthcare, the visa that has to cover everyone, the neighbourhood, and the kids' own sense of what is happening. Your plan handles them as one timeline instead of five panics.

Schools chosen before the school year, not after you land

Your plan maps the international, bilingual, and local-school options at your destination and flags their real enrolment windows, which often close months before you would think. That means you choose calmly from a shortlist instead of scrambling for any open seat once you arrive, and your kid starts the year with a place to belong.

Pediatric healthcare lined up before anyone gets sick

Your plan covers how the local system works for children, which private or expat insurance actually fits a family, and how to keep vaccinations and records continuous across the move. The meaning: the first time your child needs a doctor abroad, you already know exactly where to go.

One visa that actually covers the whole family

Plenty of people qualify themselves and then discover the route does not cleanly extend to a spouse or children. Your plan surfaces family-class and dependent options and the proof each wants, so you apply once for everyone and nobody is left in immigration limbo.

Neighbourhoods judged on what matters to parents

Your plan weighs the things a listing photo hides: walk to school, safety after dark, green space, the commute, the other families nearby. That replaces a week of doom-scrolling expat forums with a short list you can trust, which means you sign a lease you do not regret.

A move the kids can actually handle

The timeline is sequenced backward from the first day of school and paced so the human parts have room: telling the kids, the goodbyes, the last weeks. The point is not just landing legally, it is landing as a family that still feels like one.

Will my visa cover my spouse and kids too?

Not automatically. Many routes cover the primary applicant and then require separate family-class or dependent applications, each with its own proof. Your plan flags whether the route you are considering extends to your family and what each member needs, so you apply once for everyone instead of discovering a gap at the consulate.

How do I find a good school abroad before we move?

Start early, because the best international and bilingual schools have enrolment windows that close well before the school year. Your plan maps the options at your destination and their real deadlines so you can choose from a shortlist rather than taking whatever seat is left in August.

What about healthcare for my children abroad?

Your plan covers how the local system treats children, which private or expat insurance fits a family budget, and how to carry vaccination records and prescriptions across the move so there is no gap in care. For the medical decisions themselves, it points you to local pediatric care; Nomad maps the system, it does not practice medicine.

How do I know a neighbourhood is safe and family-friendly?

By judging it on parent criteria, not listing photos: the walk to school, safety after dark, green space, and where other families actually live. Your plan weighs those for each destination so you can sign a lease with confidence instead of guessing from a screen.

Is moving abroad with young kids actually realistic?

Yes, and families do it constantly. The difference between a smooth move and a chaotic one is sequencing: schools, visas, healthcare, and housing each have a right moment. Your plan puts them in order and paces them so the kids have room to adjust, which is what makes it feel doable instead of overwhelming.
