Editor's Guide: Repatriation When work overseas comes to an end are you and your family ready to repatriate? What is repatriation, and how does one successfully move home? Expatica helps prepare you for the move back home.

Repatriation – the final stage of being an expat, and arguably the most overlooked level of the process. Moving back to a home country seems like an easy slide into familiarity, but reality reveals a different experience both physically and mentally.

Expatica.com dives deeper into the challenges and struggles of returning to the pre-expat life, from preparing the family to the physical process of moving and buying or selling property. We’ve generated new content and refreshed existing articles to confidently educate, support and share information on how to repatriate successfully.

Repatriating work
Maintaining healthy work challenges and ambitious assignments in the job field is imperative for highly skilled employees returning home. We explain how and why businesses repatriate their employees sucessfully by upping work projects and benefits to a higher level (at a budget-friendly cost), or else face serious career derailments like losing the employee due to the lack of challenges.

From repatriation challenges for women executives to receiving guidance by using a mentor at work, there are many options to help employees adjust to life back home. Solve the repatriation riddle for your business by learning and implementing the tricks and techniques to ensure a proper re-entry for former expats.

Repatriating family and self
Psychologically, repatriation is exhausting. From shutting down the life abroad to mentally going back and facing barriers that once were nonexistent, we explain that effects like reverse culture shock or re-entry shock are to be taken seriously and treated carefully. Read what it means to repatriate teenagers, kids and spouses in a healthy and successful manner.

Be sure to read the many blogs expats have shared with us on their experience of repatriating. One American expat shares her fears and expectations on moving home. In addition, Expatica's Forums are a great way to find and share experiences.

Our Ask the Expert section enables you to receive tips and advice from repatriation experts. No matter where the expat calls 'home' or how long they have been 'away', repatriation should be seen as a stage of expatriation that needs equal guidance and recognition.
