In working abroad you will need to have the information, accommodation and etc. Some companies offer free accommodation and transportation to the worker but if not, you will need to get your own furniture or maybe send your belongings to that certain country. It may be expensive by air and affordable by ship, but it will take months or weeks to get that so I prefer buying new for long term worker.
