  • Build a month-one cash buffer (deposit + flights + setup) before you resign or book non-refundable travel.
  • Cross-check rent and grocery ranges on SetTern city tools — treat third-party indexes as orientation, not quotes.
  • Document every agent fee in writing; walk away from anyone who asks for payment before a signed lease or licence check.
  • Revisit this page after major policy updates — SetTern refreshes high-intent guides on a rotating cron.
