Moving Guide: Tips and Tricks for International Moves by Shipping Solutions Worldwide
Start Planning Early
Moving internationally is a complex process that requires a lot of planning. It’s important to start planning early, ideally at least six months before your move date.
This will give you enough time to research your destination country, find a reputable moving company like Shipping Solutions Worldwide, and take care of all the necessary paperwork.
Starting early will also give you enough time to sell or donate items you won’t need in your new home.
Research Your Destination Country
Before moving to a new country, it’s important to research and learn as much as possible about it.
This includes the culture, customs, language, and visa requirements. You should also research the cost of living, healthcare, and education options in your new country.
Having a good understanding of your destination country will help you adjust to your new home more easily.
Purge and Pack Carefully
Moving internationally can be expensive, so it’s important to purge and pack carefully. Get rid of anything that you don’t need or won’t use in your new home. Consider selling or donating items that are in good condition to make some extra money.
When packing, use high-quality packing materials and label each box clearly. This will help you easily find what you need when unpacking in your new home.
At Shipping Solutions Worldwide, we have professional packers who can handle the packing for you.
Take Care of the Paperwork
Moving internationally requires a lot of paperwork, so taking care of everything in advance is essential.
This includes obtaining a passport, visa, and any necessary vaccinations. You should also notify your bank, credit card companies, and other institutions about your move.
Having all your paperwork in order will help you avoid any delays or issues when entering your new country.
Arrange for Shipping and Storage
If you’re not taking all your belongings with you, you’ll need to arrange for shipping and storage.
Look for a reputable shipping company that specializes in international moves like Shipping Solutions Worldwide.
We have more than 30 years of experience in international moving and can handle everything from packing to customs clearance.
Plan for the Arrival
Once you arrive in your new country, you’ll need to plan for your arrival. This includes arranging for transportation to your new home, setting up utilities and internet service, and registering for any necessary documents such as a driver’s license or ID card.
It’s a good idea to make a checklist of everything you need to do and prioritize the most important tasks first.
By following these tips and tricks, you can make your international move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Remember to start planning early, research your destination country thoroughly, find a reputable moving company, purge, and pack carefully, take care of all the necessary paperwork, arrange for shipping and storage, and plan for the arrival.
Good luck with your international move!
