Packing and Moving
An international move is more than packing boxes and booking a shipment — it’s the start of a whole new chapter. Between the logistics, deadlines, and goodbyes, it can feel overwhelming, but with the right plan you can make the process smoother and even enjoy parts of it. This page brings together practical tools, trusted resources, and a complete packing checklist to help you prepare, stay organised, and land in your new home ready to start fresh.
Planning & Research
Research your destination’s visa requirements, cost of living, and neighbourhoods. Create a moving timeline and set your budget early to avoid last-minute stress.
Shipping & Transport
Book a reliable international mover, confirm customs requirements, and track your shipment. Keep contact details for your moving company handy.
Sorting & Selling
Declutter before you pack. Sell or donate items you won’t take with you — it saves shipping costs and helps you start fresh.
First week in your new home
Set up your utilities, explore local shops, and meet your neighbours. Unpack essentials first, then settle in room by room.
Packing Essentials
Label every box clearly, keep important documents and valuables in your carry-on, and pack a “first week” box with clothes, toiletries, and key items.
