Moving Overseas? Use This Free Moving Checklist
While an international relocation brings excitement and trepidation, the details of a move abroad can be tedious and stressful. At Allied, we help people moving to Malaysia on a daily basis, so we have extensive knowledge about customs, moving pets, helping children adjust, finding accommodation in your new country as well as bringing your furniture. To help you plan for this momentous adventure, the team at Allied has compiled a checklist to help you on your way to Malaysia.
Obtaining Visas and Work Permits
If you are moving overseas for work with your company, you are likely to have help making the arrangements and organising the necessary paperwork. If you need to fill out any forms and research your visa route yourself, the professional movers at Allied can help. It is important to follow the correct process to live and work in Malaysia from the start, otherwise your application may be delayed. We can help you obtain your visa and thereby streamline your application.
Make a List of Everything You Want to Take
If you are taking furniture, it is important to choose an International mover that has experience with customs and transport companies around the globe, like Allied. List each item you wish to take with you when emigrating from or moving to Malaysia. You will need to decide if you are keeping any pieces in storage or selling items left behind. Allied can help organise long-term storage for your belongings as well as help you ship them in future if necessary. We also offer assistance if you wish to relocate your pets or vehicle.
Find a New Home
Finding a new home in your host country is an important step. Many companies help their employees find residences close to work. If you have an employee moving abroad, we can help find them the perfect home in their new country, so please contact us about our corporate relocation services.
Find New Schools and Healthcare
It is important to find good schools as early in the process as possible when your children are making the move with you. When doing this, you will be prompted to forward their school records to help prepare teachers for their education. New doctors will also want your medical records and may need them professionally translated in order to ensure they are fully understood. If medical treatment is ongoing, this should be completed as early as possible.
Let Everyone Know You’re Moving
Banks, landlords, tax agencies, insurance brokers, telephone and internet providers, water and electrical services will all need to know you are moving internationally. Your friends and family will also want to know your new address.
Contact Allied to Prepare Your Move
With a list of the items our team needs to move, we can give you a quote for transport and arrange a date to start your move. By contacting Allied as soon as you know your moving date or as early as possible, we are more likely to be able to help you move to Malaysia on a date that most suits your needs.
