    Visa expense

    Client moved to Germany in late 2006 to teach English. Can Visa expenses (fees/photos) be deducted?

    Immigration Fees

    Was he already a teacher in the US? In that case, yes -- just as the cost of obtaining a green card would be deductible for a German coming here for the same reason.

      Hmm. She was hired while still in the US but did not teach here. She did not actually begin teaching until she arrived in Germany. Is it necessary that she be previously employed as a teacher or does it suffice that she was hired while residing here and went overseas specifically to begin that job?

        I would rather be on the disallowance side of that argument, if this was her first teaching job. But as always it would depend on all of the facts and circumstances.
