Moving abroad: what do you need to arrange?
Moving abroad requires a lot of preparation and planning. There are several things you need to arrange to ensure a smooth transition. Below is a list of the most important things you need to arrange, with a brief description of each aspect:
1. Visa and work permit: Depending on your destination, you may need a visa and/or work permit. Ask the embassy or consulate of the country you are moving to about the required documents and procedures, or check the NetherlandsWorldwide website for more information.
2. Documentation and records: Make sure you have all necessary documents, such as your passport, birth certificates, marriage certificate, medical records and insurance papers. Copies of these documents can also be handy.
3. House search: Arrange a place to live in advance. This could mean buying or renting a property, or arranging temporary accommodation until you find a permanent home.
4. Moving possessions: Decide which possessions to take with you and which to leave behind or sell. Engage a professional moving company to transport your belongings and make sure you have an inventory list.
5. Insurance: Check whether your current insurance policies are valid abroad. You may need new insurance policies for healthcare, car, home and contents.
6. Banking: Inform your bank about your move and ask about international banking options. Consider opening a bank account in your new country.
7. Taxes: Check with the Tax Administration about the tax implications of your move. You may face tax obligations in both your home country and your new country.
8. Healthcare: Make sure you have access to healthcare in your new country. Arrange for health insurance and find out where you can go for medical care.
9. Language and culture: Prepare for the language and culture of your new country. Take language classes if necessary and learn more about local customs and etiquette.
10. Schools and childcare: If you have children, arrange schools or childcare. Find out about the education system and register your children with a suitable school in time.
11. Transport and vehicles: Decide whether to bring your own vehicle or buy or rent one in your new country. Arrange the necessary documentation for importing your vehicle.
12. Find a mover: Last but not least, find a reliable mover! Don’t wait until the last minute to do this. Once you know approximately when you are going to move and what you want to take with you, you can start planning. This starts with a valuation visit to determine the right volume and discuss your requirements. Based on this, we can make you an offer. Request your quote here.
By arranging all these things in good time, you can significantly reduce the stress of an international move and ensure a smooth transition to your new life abroad.
