I Want to Move Abroad. Where Do I Start?

A lot must be taken into consideration before you move abroad, including where you’re moving to, what you’re taking with you, and what international moving company to use. Johnson International Movers not only can offer you exceptional international moving services but is also dedicated to helping you prepare for international relocation.

Moving for work? You should talk with your employer about common corporate relocation assistance such as:

• Reimbursement packages
• Lump-sum packages
• Work visas or permits

Johnson International Movers is an expert in managing corporate relocation for employees, so you can rely on us to help you stay within your employer’s set budget and get you moved to your new home overseas smoothly.

When relocating abroad with your family, you must make sure everything is in order. This includes tracking down any essential documents, making full travel arrangements and coordinating schedules. Be sure to:

• Set a budget early
• Find housing
• Arrange travel and shipping

Before leaving your home country, you’ll also need to meet with an immigration office to obtain visas for yourself and any family members that will be making the journey with you. Visas are essential for living in foreign countries. If you plan on staying long-term, you may want to seek a route to becoming a citizen to ease the process of living in that country.

Tell Your Friends And Family

You’ll need to tell friends and other loved ones that you’re planning to move abroad. Their reactions may be mixed, with some being nervous and others excited. Tell them early on in your moving process, so they can give you help.

Whether they’re shocked, worried or happy for you, telling them with plenty of advance warning gives them time to make a plan to say goodbye, help you pack or arrange a visit to your new home. They may even know someone who lives or works in your destination country and can connect you with a job prospect.
