An international move can be an exciting affair. Moving house is already an exciting and stressful period, but if you choose to move internationally you can expect even more stress. It is therefore a good idea to start making preparations. Think about what your budget is in advance and also draw up a moving checklist. That way, you won’t incur too many costs and you won’t forget any important things.

Moving to Amsterdam?

It makes quite a difference whether you choose to move to Amsterdam and you need a moving company in Amsterdam or whether you move to “the Hofstad” and you need a removal company in The Hague. Moving to Amsterdam poses different challenges. For example, you have to deal with many narrow streets and a large proportion of the inhabitants live in flats. Parking in the city can also be difficult (and very expensive). Then it’s easy to find a reliable removal company that knows the area and can help you with the details.

International removals to the Netherlands

As mentioned, international moves bring other challenges. Make sure you read up on the regulations in that country. If you’re coming from an EU country, it all becomes a lot easier. In the Netherlands you also have to register with the municipality. For this, you need to contact your new municipality. Other things to take into account are: a visa, moving all your belongings, arranging your health insurance, but above all learning the language. In this way, you can quickly adapt to the Dutch culture and customs. This will make integrating easier and you will be able to empathise better with the customs and habits of the region you are moving to.
