The idea of moving abroad for the first time and living the life of an expatriate is certainly a road less traveled. For most first-time expatriates, the initial few months of living abroad could either be too exciting or overwhelming. To help expatriates adjust to living in another country, we will discuss five of the most crucial tips to remember for your first move abroad so that you will overcome the negative feeling and make your first international move a successful & memorable one.

When it comes to the expat experience, there are no such things as confirmed information. You need to be aware that there are no definitive answers and may find lots of conflicting information at times. This is especially true when it comes to getting a resident visa in a foreign country. Every expat who goes through this process has vivid experiences. From the paperwork required to fees structure to the length of time it takes. We can pretty much ascertain that no two people would go through the same experience and no two immigration officials will give you the same information. Nor can you totally rely on any official government websites. So be as prepared as much you can be, and don’t sweat it at the last minute.

Its better advised to visit your new city and spend 1 to 2 weeks in an apartment, experience life there, get to know the weather and later decide whether you want to make the big move or not. This will also help you shape an idea of the realistic lifestyle you will live, what housing is in your budget range, or are there decent schools nearby, etc.

Often expats have a tough time communicating with the locals. Its always good to learn the local language of where you are going to live. We agree, you won’t be fluent in a month but you need to at least learn the basics to get around. If you don’t speak the local language, you might need someone’s help every step of the way. It’s important to pick up the most commonly used phrases and words, like ‘greeting people’ ‘how much would it cost?’ ‘asking for directions’ ‘asking for help’ etc.

The most common feeling that expats will face in their first month of relocation is isolation and some face a tough time getting used to the local food. It is recommended that you give your body a few days to adjust to the new place. It’s beneficial for expats to go out and engage with locals and other expatriates alike, this can help you know and understand the local vibe. Be choosy in trying varieties of local food. This kind of consistent interaction can certainly help you adapt into local living.

It is recommended to carry some cash with you, with the help of which you can open a bank account with a local bank. This ascertains that all your transactions or salary credits can take place without any hassles. This will also let you make quick deposits and withdrawals, or use your debit/credit card without incurring a heavy foreign exchange fee. Keep track of your spending’s and understand your tax obligations.

Nicer weather – relocating during monsoons or freezing temperatures is definitely not the best idea for a pleasant, stress-free move to your new home. The nice weather in late spring and summer promises safe and efficient driving, a high level of comfort and a minimum risk of accidents due to slippery driveways, wet roads, or frozen hands and feet.

Free time – many people take their paid leave from work during the summer months which means there will be more friends and relatives who have the time and can help you with your move.

School year – children would have just completed a year of their education and the summer vacation provides a good chance to relocate. It also helps them find a decent new school and start the next school year afresh.

College – This time of the year is considered an ideal time for college students to move out.

Moving sales – when moving in nice weather, you can easily organize a garage sale to get rid of the items you will no longer need and to pocket some extra money.

Real estate market opportunities – like it or not, there are much more houses for sale in the spring than in the autumn and you have a greater choice when searching for an ideal home of your choice.

Relocations are part of our life, and hey, there’s too much into it. Intercity moving, for sure, is a time-killer, peace-killer or whatever you call it. We all come across it in one or the other walks of our life. And, it’s justified to say that relocations or shiftings are hard, but yeah, we all have to go through the bitter-sweet. That said, how do we do it without the kids having to take a leave from school because the study room or the kitchen is not yet ready. Or, they are tired. Or you need to miss office for the arrangements to be made, as you think taking care of your dear things is not transferal. Above all, the efforts involved can also sweat you into a tiresome dilemma, puzzling you on whom to rely. Or, could you even find packers and movers, for a smooth, seamless intercity moving? The “Answer is Yes.”

Intercity moving is something Globe Moving and Storage Company does every day, and for a long forty years. We believe shiftings and movings are for a cause, a good one. Therefore, it needs to be effortless, benefiting, and above all, non-interfering. Be it moving your households, pets, valuables, or equipment we have you covered in a way you want it to be.

Storage of goods in transit is another concern for anyone who is shifting. Where to keep them as you have to vacate a place but the destination stay is not yet ready. Or, it’s a wastage of money to rent a storage space exclusively, as you just need to wait only for a short period. These challenges often haunt families long before a shifting. Loosen yourself! Our fumigated, safe and hygienic storage spaces hold your belongings just like your previous home did. Secured premises also guarantee a safe stay for your goods. You see, missing consignments are a big no-no for us.

That’s logic enough to shake hands if you are preparing for an intercity moving. Globe Moving guarantees nothing less than premium services. We like to treat our customers like royals, and in fact, that’s what we did over the decades.

Imagine having to relocate life as you know it, and starting afresh in a place you’ve never been before. That too without any professional assistance. Sounds challenging doesn’t it? Corporate employees face this everyday.

Relocation Services has come a long way over the years. Traditionally, a corporate HR team took care of their staff’s (transferee) relocation. But with the onset of globalization, the need for an exclusive relocation specialist has become quite apparent. Nowadays, corporations outsource transferee’s relocations entirely to a Relocation Companies — usually aiding them with essential details.

Things can become difficult if a transferee tries to single-handedly manage entry into a new country. A relocation company on the other hand will first understand the transferee’s (and their family’s) needs through a need-assessment form. It will cover key areas to help the relocation company better assess the relocation and organize it in a personalized way. Following this, the transferee will be contacted and the relocation dates decided.
