Tips on international moving
International moving
International moving involves a lot of arranging. Especially when you move outside the European Union, a lot has to be arranged. Just think of arranging a visa, transporting your belongings and all matters at customs. Leave international moving to the expert: De Haan relocation.
International moves are not easy to arrange. There's a lot involved. Do you think moving to another city in the Netherlands is a lot of work? Then imagine how complicated international moving can be. There you cannot easily move from your old home to your new one. Transporting your belongings is also a lot more difficult.
The challenges of international moves
International moves are a lot more complex than a move in the Netherlands. Where you can travel from your old home to your new home in the same country, for example to paint, do odd jobs or to put some of your household effects in the new location, this is not possible with international moves. Depending on the country you are moving to, you will be bound by air travel or a long car journey. That makes international moving a lot more difficult. Especially when you emigrate for work, you do not have time in advance to make your new home in your new country completely your own. Perhaps your employer arranges the home and you have no say in it. International moves are, as you can see, quite a challenge.
International moves: do it yourself or outsource it?
International moves simply require more arrangements. In addition to packing your household effects and transporting them to your new home, you must also arrange international transport. And if you don't speak the language fluently, finding movers in your new home country can be very complicated. Do you want to arrange international moves yourself or outsource them? When you have landed on this page, you are most likely looking for a party specialized in international moves. You may have started packing yourself, but all the little things that come with an international move are too much for you.
Is outsourcing international move something for you?
You are currently wondering whether the investment to outsource international moves is interesting for your situation. We would like to list a number of things that may show that this may be suitable for you:
- You are moving outside the EU (and you cannot move your household effects yourself with a car or trailer);
- You are not familiar with your new home country and do not speak the language;
- You want your valuables to be transported in a safe manner;
- You are worried about all the administrative work and you are afraid that you will forget something;
- You want support in arranging any storage;
- You want to be sure that your household effects will pass through customs without any worries.
Do you agree with this? Then it can't hurt to contact the removal experts at De Haan. We have been unburdening international removals all over the world since 1777. You can request a non-binding price indication here. This only takes 1 minute.
