Step one: The first thing you need to do is decide what you are going to take with you. Give yourself enough time to fully research the country you are moving to. Understand what the living standards are , what is the weather and the climate. Besides, try to find out how much space you will have available for you in the new place. Many companies when transporting their employees can offer them a rented apartment , where they can live. It is important to find out how many rooms the apartment has, so you can decide how much stuff you should take from your apartment. Moving abroad is not like moving to a new town, it is much more expensive and it may get even more if you take too much stuff with you. This is why, it is important to find out where you are going to live; will there be any furniture and kitchen equipment; will there be any place for your kids to sleep on? All these things have to be known in advance. If you will be provided with most of the stuff, why do you have to spend money to transport all your belongings?

Step two: Choose movers and find out the prices. Once you have an idea what items you are going to take with you , you can start searching for a moving company to transport your belongings. You can start your research with getting information from other people, who have already used these type of services. Always look for a company who has an experience in that area. Get information about prices from different companies, before choosing one. You will need this information to plan your budget ahead.

Step three: This step includes planning the move and packing your belongings. You need to start sorting out the things you will be taking and those you will be leaving. Go through all your stuff and divide them properly , like giving to charity, shipping, taking with me. You should have in mind , that you will be able to take a lot of stuff, like clothes in your luggage and not having to ship them. Have in mind that depending on the destination shipment can take several weeks, so make sure to take with you the most important stuff, this you will need on the first day, when you arrive. Items that you need to pack in your luggage and not have them transported by moving company include: passport and any other official document, credit card, driving license, medical insurance, emergency numbers and any medications which you may be taking. You should leave the stuff, which are not that important on the first couple of days, for the moving company to ship them.
