Expat removals
An expat move means that you or your family are relocating to another country for work, study or personal reasons. A move like this calls for careful preparation and expert guidance through all the logistical, legal and administrative steps.
What is an expat move?
An expat move means that you or your family are relocating to another country for work, study or personal reasons. This process can be complex, because it is not only about moving your belongings, but also about adapting to a new culture, language and environment. Good preparation and planning are crucial to making the transition run smoothly.
An expat move involves more than an ordinary move within the same country; it often requires extra steps, such as arranging visas, finding suitable housing and integrating into the local community.
In addition, an expat move often involves legal and administrative matters, such as obtaining work permits and opening a bank account in the new country. It is also important to think about healthcare and about insuring your belongings during transport. By arranging these things properly, you can concentrate better on settling into your new surroundings and building a new life abroad.

Why an expat move?
An expat move is often needed when you or your family accept a job abroad, follow a study programme or decide to move for personal reasons. Companies send employees to foreign branches to gain international experience or to lead specific projects. Many people also choose to study abroad to broaden their academic and cultural horizons. An expat move can also be necessary when you want to improve your quality of life by moving to a country with better economic opportunities, a more pleasant climate or a higher standard of living.
Bringing in a professional moving service makes this complex and often stressful transition easier. An expert in expat removals helps you coordinate every logistical aspect, from packing and transporting your belongings to arranging temporary housing and dealing with customs formalities. That way you can focus on settling into your new surroundings without the worries of the move itself.

What does an expat move cost?
The cost of an expat move depends on the country of destination, the distance, the amount of belongings, the mode of transport and whether you want the packing service or temporary storage. Because every expat move is different, we prepare a tailored price. You receive a clear price upfront through a free quote, and we respond within 24 hours.
Which documents do I need for an expat move and customs?
For an international move you usually need a valid passport, your visa or work permit and an inventory list of your belongings. Depending on the country of destination, customs may ask for additional documents. We advise you in advance which papers are needed and help you deal with the customs formalities.
How long does an expat move abroad take?
The lead time depends on the destination and the chosen mode of transport. A move within Europe is generally faster than a move to another continent, where transport by sea container takes more time. We draw up a schedule together with you so that you know when your belongings will arrive.
Can I have my belongings stored during transport?
Yes, we offer temporary storage when your new home is not yet available or when you do not want to take all your belongings with you straight away. Your belongings are kept safely and taken to your destination at the desired time.
Do you also provide the packing service for an expat move?
Yes, our staff can take care of all the packing for you with suitable packing materials. Fragile and valuable items are given extra protection for transport. You can also choose to pack yourself and have us handle only certain items.
How far in advance should I arrange an expat move?
For an expat move it is wise to start well in advance, so that there is enough room for the transport, the planning and the necessary documents. For far-off destinations by sea container, it is best to plan a few weeks to months ahead. Get in touch on 085 500 2365 to discuss your schedule.
Are my belongings insured during an expat move?
Yes, we are a NIWO-registered mover and our transport and storage are fully insured, including for an expat move across the border. Your belongings are carefully packed and transported by a reliable partner. That way you travel to your new destination with peace of mind.

You request a free quote with the country of destination and an idea of your household contents. We respond within 24 hours with a clear price upfront and think along with you about transport, storage and customs. For questions, call us on 085 500 2365.
