MOVING ABROAD


When it comes to moving large volumes or covering long distances, it is preferable to let professional movers take charge of the removal process. 

Here are some moving tips to help you prepare for your move:


Prepare at LEAST 3 months in advance:
You may have to obtain visas, work permits or vaccines, or cancel services which require a notice period. Make a list of all you need to do. Being well-organized will help the move go more smoothly.

Sort through your belongings:
Choose which goods you want to bring with you and which goods you want to leave behind, with a friend or in a storage unit. 
Seek advice: It might be more advantageous to buy goods instead of transporting them. 

  

Choose the right moving company:
Finding a good moving company is essential to any expatriation project. 
Independent regulatory bodies like FIDI will help you find reliable moving companies. 
Internal quality processes, specialized packing materials and 
a large network will guarantee high standards of quality and service.
But also social media can help you out. On linkedin f.i. you can get in contact with people specialising on different countries. Look for groups concerning EXPATS.


Prevent the risk of breakage:
Zero risk does not exist. But a good packing can reduce it to a minimum.
The only thing that went broken was a cooffee cup when I unpacked at home :) .
Material damage insurance is highly recommended.

Get the right LEGAL information:

  2. Dear Anonymous,

    Prior to ship your own personal belongings. You need to have the official document from your town hall. This doc has to be signed by the mayor and with this document and a full and detailed list of all your goods you need to go the the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. First then you can address yourself to the Embassy.Be aware that ALL legal documents need to be either in French or Arabic.Around the Moroccon Embassy you will find some official translators that can ahndle this for you.
