If you are moving from Australia then this page will provide you with the relevant information when considering your move.
In general any type of move involves a lot of planning and preparation, as well as a number of steps you have to take to get everything done. When it comes to moving internationally, there are even more things to consider.
Visa and / or Work Permits?
First find out what is required to live and work in your chosen destination. While
you're planning your overseas move, make sure you find out how long it will take
to get your visa, or other needed documentation, in place before you leave.
Language
What language does the country you are moving to speak? Can they also speak
your language? When moving you may find that you can do the basics, but if you
are getting mail such as bills, and also having to go into government offices for
paperwork, sometimes it can get a bit tricky. Before moving to another country
try and find guides online which explain all the legal / registration matters that
you will need to do once you arrive. You may also have to sign contracts which can be long and you
don’t really want to be signing things that you can’t read and understand. There are translation services available online for example Google Translate . You could also consider hiring someone to help with translations.
Cost of living?
The cost of living in your new country is a critical factor for consideration when
deciding whether or not the overseas move will be successful. You really do need
to research how much daily life will cost to see if you can afford it.
Where is best to live?
Where will I live? is probably one of the most critical questions to ask yourself
when planning an overseas relocation. Inevitably where you live will likely
determine just how successful your international move will be. There will be
many online research tools available in your new country but ultimately being
'on the ground' is by far the best way to decide on the best location.
Family and friendship networks
Settling in your chosen country is crucial to making the overseas move a success.
One of the most underestimated factors involved in moving overseas is the fact
that you are generally leaving all of your friends and family behind. You may get
homesick and feel lonely. Meeting new friends in a new destination can take time
and may depend on the type of employment you secure and its location. It will
also depend on whether you get involved in the expat community or social events.
What should I take with me?
When travelling you will be limited as to what you can take with you when you
fly to your new country. Check with your airline though, in certain instances
airlines will increase the weight you can carry if you are migrating. Regardless
of the weight you can carry though, you will be limited to clothing and other
essential items. On arrival it is likely that you will be staying with friends, relatives
or in short term serviced accommodation whilst you source more permanent
accommodation. In many places globally longer term rentals do not come
furnished and of course should you decide to buy a new home it will need furnishing. Consequently you will need to consider shipping your household furniture and personal effects. This is a great time to review your belongings. Why pay to ship an item if you are not likely to use it in your new country. On the flipside consider the cost of buying a new item as opposed to shipping that same item that is already in your possession and can continue to be used in your new home.
The team at Worldwide Move Management can assist you with this process and cost analysis - please contact us for further information.

Upon receipt of the completed valuation form, Worldwide Move Management will arrange for the appropriate Extended Warranty Cover to be issued immediately and the cover will be in place from the commencement of your move right through to the delivery of your belongings at your destination. Extended Warranty Cover is also available, if storage of your shipment is required.

Our underwriters have loss adjusters in every major city across the world, who help ensure that any claim is dealt with and settled quickly.
