No one moves abroad because they love paperwork — but let’s be honest, you can’t get that visa without it.

In this episode of ABROADly Speaking, I take you inside the bureaucratic nightmare every future immigrant faces: the endless hunt for “official documents.” From birth certificates that apparently expire to translations certified by mythical creatures, this is your survival guide to the least glamorous part of your move abroad.

You’ll learn what documents really matter, why “recently issued” means something different in every country, and how to avoid the most common mistakes that derail visa applications.

It’s not about perfection — it’s about persistence, preparation, and PDFs.
