What should you know when moving to another city or country?

Preparing for the move

First and foremost, you need to create a plan. It is necessary to understand which items are important and which can be left behind, as well as to avoid unnecessary hassle and expenses.

Key points for preparing for a move:

  1. Creating a plan:
  • make a list of items that need to be moved and decide on a date;
  • identify the most valuable items which you’ll transport yourself, and decide which items you’ll entrust to a moving company;
  • gather all the necessary documents.
  1. Packing your belongings:
  • purchase enough boxes, bags, and tape for packing (it’s better to have extra on hand);
  • categorize your items and pack them into boxes according to your classification;
  • pack valuable items separately and label all boxes to avoid confusion during unpacking.
  1. Transporting your belongings:
  • research moving companies’ offers;
  • choose the most suitable option and read customer reviews;
  • sign a contract with the best option.

When the move to your apartment begins after preliminary preparations, ensure that all items are packed and ready for transport, double-check your documents, and carefully check that all items are accounted for once the move is complete.

Special considerations for moving to another country

Aninternational move requires more thorough preparation due to arranging additional documents. Moving to another country is significantly more complex. It’s important to consider many nuances of international rules and regulations.

How to best organize an international move

You should:

  1. Prepare your visa and international passport. Ensure that your documents are valid and correctly processed.
  2. Choose an international moving company. Review the transport conditions on the EA LOGISTIC website.
  3. Familiarize yourself with customs regulations. Find out which items are prohibited from being brought into the destination country.
  4. Plan for adaptation issues. Moving to a new home abroad is a significant step, so learn more about the culture and customs of the country to avoid culture shock.

When planning an international move, whether it’s personal or for anoffice relocation, it’s important to remember that careful preparation and attention to all aspects of the process will help you minimize stress.
