He said making sure document are verified will reduce the chances of it becoming a slow process.
Jonathan told GB News: "Get your passport and other documents verified (Apositle).
"It seems everyone asks for these and if you don't have them you can wait a long time to get them - delaying your visa, tax and other business applications."
The last thing Britons want is to be held up waiting for documents so it is wise to get this sorted early.
Visas are one of the documents Britons can be waiting a while for.
On top of this, expats should do their research and make sure they have filled out any local applications.
Jonathan continued: "Visas should definitely be considered as they take a while to sort.
"But aside from that there are a range of local residential forms and applications too which you’ll need to ensure you pay the right taxes and so on.
