Step-by-step Guide for Personal International Relocation
There are several steps to consider when relocating internationally, with each one having its unique issues, but we are on hand to provide detailed solutions, whatever the concern you may have.
- Arrange a pre-move consultation – this will help determine an accurate timeline and budget for the move.
- Apply for the appropriate visas – depending on why you are relocating, you may need to apply for a work, study or family visa. This can sometimes be a lengthy process, so it is important to ensure you are seeking the right immigration permission with plenty of time ahead of your moving deadline.
- Consider property requirements– as well as finding a suitable property in your new relocation, we can also help with selling or renting out your current home. We can also arrange for personal items to be stored in storage with the right insurance cover in place.Â
- Shipping logistics – opting for a full-service packing and shipping service for your personal belongings. This will help you ensure you do not face lengthy custom delays or additional costs.
- Help settling in – it can be easy to just focus on the logistics of the move but often those relocating overseas face numerous challenges after arrival. Using a settlement service can provide help in setting up necessary utilities, registering with healthcare providers, purchasing a vehicle or joining local networking groups. You should also consider the implications of moving to a country with potentially a different language and culture and how a personal relocation service can help ease the transition.

Pre-move Planning and Consultation
Working with an IAS personal relocation consultant we can provide a moving checklist and realistic timeline which is tailored to your unique circumstances.
This vital pre-move planning stage will provide an accurate budget and ensure you are aware of the various health, education and lifestyle options available to you and your family in your new destination.
We have expert knowledge of local services and culture, so you are well-informed of any potential concerns before your move, meaning they can be addressed well ahead of time.
Home Sales and Property Management
A key decision when moving overseas is whether you plan to retain your current home. Some people opt to sell their current property, especially if the planned relocation is a long-term decision. However, if you plan to return at some point, then you may wish to consider making it available for rent.
At IAS, we can help work with real estate companies to get your existing home on the market and sell it within a timeframe that suits you.
If you prefer to keep the property, we can arrange for a professional rental management company to handle the whole process from finding a tenant to ongoing property maintenance so you do not have to deal with the ongoing stress of being a landlord.
Immigration and Visa Assistance
When moving to another country, it is essential to ensure you have the right immigration permissions in place. IAS has successfully helped people apply for thousands of visas worldwide.
Our team can offer in-depth advice on which visa is needed no matter the reason why you are relocating. We can work directly with immigration authorities to address any issues to ensure any potential delays or rejections are avoided, with extensive experience in handling complex cases.
As an industry leader, we are also well-placed to monitor any new developments in global immigration policy and offer personalised advice for you and your family.

Documentation and Other Paperwork
There is little doubt that relocating involves a lot of paperwork and red tape. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that all the required documents you will need are in order.
We can help you with any questions you may have concerning whether you have suitable evidence to support a visa application or what paperwork is needed for your belongings to be approved by customs.
In some cases, you could need to provide certified translated copies of documents, and we can assist with this to ensure there are no delays in relocating.
Household Goods Packing and Transportation
The thought of organising and shipping all your belongings to another country is daunting to say the least! However, we are on hand to provide access to professional packing services that will ensure all your goods are handled with the utmost care.
Our clients can choose from a range of personal packing options to suit any budget, from exclusive container services to cost-effective consolidated shipping. In addition, our team of custom clearance experts will manage the necessary paperwork to make sure everything arrives for you to start your new life overseas.
Remember packing and shipping can take a considerable amount of time, so it is recommended that you get in touch today to start the process.
Pet Relocation Assistance
At IAS, we appreciate that pets are family members. Our comprehensive pet relocation services can help with all international pet travel requirements and ensure your pets are taken care of every step of the way.
This includes tracking microchipping and vaccination schedules, applying for pet passports, and obtaining vet-approved travel crates specifically for your animal companions.
We can also arrange airport pickup and delivery services to ensure your pet’s journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Destination and Settle-in Services
It can be easy to focus on the move itself rather than what happens once you arrive in a new country. However, by using our destination and settle-in services, you can make the transition easier.
IAS can help with mandatory local authority registrations, set up local bank accounts, and provide expert guidance on any possible tax obligations.
We can also explain the local healthcare and education systems, making sure you have the right insurance in place and have signed up with the necessary local providers.
Our personal concierge services team can assist with a whole host of practical issues, such as purchasing a car, joining a local gym, or signing up for a local language class.
Destination and settle-in services play a very important role in helping you become a part of a new community and ensure your relocation is a success in both the short and long term.
School Search Assistance
Finding the right schooling is a high priority for families with children. We can help with this by providing detailed information on the local education provision and the options available. The team can produce a shortlist based on a range of criteria, including cost, language, and performance.
We can also arrange school visits for you and your child and handle enrolment to make sure the transition is less overwhelming.
Permanent and Temporary Housing
Whether you are planning to rent or buy a property in your chosen destination, our personal relocation team can help you find the perfect housing.
On first arrival, you may prefer to opt for a temporary home while you get used to your new neighbourhood and are able to do further research on a permanent housing solution. IAS can match you to a range of homes, including serviced apartments.
When you are ready to enter the local real estate market, we can help you find your dream home and manage the whole transaction on your behalf.
We can also coordinate getting vital services such as electricity and internet connected in time for your arrival.
