Our service, designed by expats for expats, is offered completely free of charge.
Start planning early is the key to a successful overseas move. The moment you’re aware of your impending move, get in touch with an international moving company.
Additionally, begin categorizing your belongings into what you’ll sell, store, discard, donate, ship by sea, air, or pass on to a family member before you leave. It’s crucial to sort these out before you finalize the pre-move survey.
As your moving date draws closer, prioritize items that need to go with you, such as travel documents, immediate clothing, passports, medical records, family documents, valuables, jewelry, medication, and school records.
Expat Guidance offers a wealth of information about your destination, including detailed profiles and country fact sheets, to help you prepare for your new environment.
Proper timing and preparation are crucial for a smooth international relocation. It’s advisable to reach out to your international moving company about seven to ten weeks before your planned departure date. Doing so ensures ample time to verify necessary documentation, reserve international transport services, and notify the destination agent about your impending international shipment.
Every trustworthy international moving company should be able to offer insurance for your household and personal belongings during an overseas move.
However, there isn’t a universal standard for international moving insurance that all companies follow. Thus, it’s essential to review any insurance policy carefully to understand the coverage scope, identify any exclusions, note the deductible amount, and familiarize yourself with the claim filing process.
Given the regular changes in documentation requirements, it is crucial (and falls under your responsibility) to reach out to the local embassy or consulate to confirm the necessary paperwork for duty-free import of used household goods and personal effects.
While a reliable international moving company can provide a list of the latest documentation requirements, ensuring that you possess the proper documentation tailored to your specific circumstances remains your responsibility.
