Moving abroad: checklist & tips

A move abroad requires more lead time than a local one. Customs formalities, transport route and insurance need early planning. This checklist keeps you on top of things.

Plan early

Start at least two to three months in advance. Depending on the destination country and transport route, deadlines and effort vary considerably.

  • Check destination country rules and customs regulations
  • Choose the route: road, sea or air freight
  • Create an inventory list for customs
  • Take out international transport insurance
  • Sort out deregistration and registration in both countries
