About this guide

Written from my own experience, so you can skip the mistakes I made.

In January 2025, I moved to San Francisco for work, thanks to the Prince Albert Fund. Beyond the job and the energy of being surrounded by other tech enthusiasts, what I love most is how beautiful the city is for a bike ride, a run or a hike.

I put this guide together from my own experience, passing on the tips I wish someone had shared with me. I hope it can save you time when you move to America, or more specifically San Francisco.

If I missed anything, or you have something worth adding, please reach out. I would love to keep this growing.

Best,
Julie Coorevits

None of this is legal, tax, or financial advice. It's just what worked for me, shared to help Belgians and other Europeans moving to San Francisco. Always check official sources for your own situation.
