MOVING ABROAD: A GUIDE TO SMOOTH MIGRATION

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite, many Brits are looking for a cheaper lifestyle and considering migration. It’s never been easier thanks to remote working and specialist international removals companies making it a smooth experience at a reasonable cost. But remember - planning and organising is a key!

Here are some tips for a successful moving abroad.

1. Choose a perfect place to live overseas

Check Numbeo - the world’s largest cost-of-living database. You can easily compare prices all around the world - from renting, internet and food to cinema tickets or fitness club monthly fees. Think outside the box! Spain is awesome, but did you know that the cost of living in Sofia (Bulgaria) is 48% lower than in UK? Bucharest (Romania) has one of the fastest internet speeds in Europe and Warsaw (Poland) is one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the world!

2. Do some research about your new location

Try to understand the culture. Find out how many people can speak English but also learn the basics of native language. Check the healthcare system and climate - you may not want to cope with -20 degrees in the winter! Always visit the place first before you make a final decision about the migration.

3. Organise your documents

Make sure your passport is up to date and check the visa application process. Get your travel insurance. Prepare all the essentials, such as birth certificate and educational records, which may be needed for official purposes when living overseas.

4. Choose the right international removals service

For a smooth transition when moving abroad, finding a reputable company is crucial. Check several providers. Look for positive customer reviews. Consider factors such as shipping methods, transit times, insurance coverage and destination customs regulations.

5. Pack and organise for your move

Efficient packing is a vital aspect of international removals. Begin by decluttering and selling items you no longer need. Make an inventory of your belongings. Use sturdy packing materials and label each box clearly. It's a good idea to keep essential documents and valuables with you during the journey.

6. Let your international removals company do their job

A reliable company will offer comprehensive services including packing, transportation and assistance with customs clearance. Engaging professionals will not only ensure your belongings arrive safely at your new destination but also reduce all the stress of logistics.

7. Take time to adjust and settle in

Explore your neighbourhood and make connections with the community. Immerse yourself in the culture, try new foods and embrace all the experiences. Remember that adjusting to a new country takes time, so be patient and open-minded!

International travel and moving abroad require careful planning and organising. By preparing in advance and choosing a reliable international removals service, you can ensure a smooth, stress-free transition and fully enjoy the benefits of living overseas.
