Living abroad
There are a number of external sites with useful information for the expatriate, including information on the area such as local transportation, international schools, telephone directories, housing, itinerary planning and much more.
These sites can provide additional information for prospective candidates, however, as they are external to ESA’s Web Portal ESA is not responsible for their content.
