📍 Local Presence

Be locally reachable before you relocate

Prepare for your job search abroad with destination-specific contact options, correspondence services, and relocation tools designed around where you want to go.

HOW IT WORKS

Build your local presence before you arrive

Starting a career abroad often begins months before the move itself. Exodo helps you prepare the contact details, applications, and relocation information you need to start that journey with more confidence.

A local contact setup for your destination

Make it easier for employers and other contacts in your destination to reach you while you're still abroad.

  • Explore local phone-number options where available.
  • Forward eligible calls to your existing phone.
  • Keep international and destination contact details organised together.
  • Understand any identity or local-address requirements before activation.

Receive important correspondence before you move

Where available, Local Presence can give you access to a destination correspondence service for mail connected with your upcoming move.

  • Receive correspondence through supported partners.
  • View scanned mail digitally when offered.
  • Forward physical mail when necessary.
  • Keep important relocation correspondence connected to your Exodo journey.

A correspondence address is not proof of residence and cannot be used as a substitute for official local registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about creating a local presence before relocating abroad.

Exodo Local Presence helps people preparing to move abroad organise destination-specific contact and correspondence options before they relocate. Depending on the country, this may include local phone options, correspondence services, mail handling and integration with the rest of your Exodo relocation journey.

In some destinations, yes. Availability depends on local telecommunications rules and the provider being used. Certain numbers may require identity verification, a local connection or additional documentation. Exodo will show you the requirements before activation.

No. Any address offered through Local Presence is a correspondence service unless explicitly stated otherwise. It does not establish legal residence, tax residence or municipal registration and should not be presented as proof that you already live in the country.

You can use supported contact details where appropriate, but your application should remain accurate about where you currently live and your intention to relocate. The goal is to make you easier to reach and better prepared for the destination, not to misrepresent your residence.

Germany, Spain and Portugal are our current early-access markets. The exact services available can differ between destinations because phone, postal and address regulations vary.

No. Local Presence and work authorization are separate. Exodo's Work Eligibility tools can help you understand possible work and visa routes based on your citizenship, destination and personal circumstances.

Local Presence is designed to connect naturally with the rest of Exodo. Once you receive an offer, you can continue with your relocation checklist, work or visa preparation, document management, deadlines and expert support from the same Exodo journey.
