International vs. national move

Moving is an integral part of many people's lives, be it for a new job, family or simply for a change of scenery. Despite all the similarities between international and national moves, there are also significant differences that need to be taken into account.

Planning and organization A national move is generally easier to plan than an international move. The distances are shorter and you often already know the destination area, which makes it easier to find accommodation, schools or medical care. An international move, on the other hand, requires more extensive planning, as there are also visas, work permits, adapting to other cultures and possibly even learning a new language.

💰 Costs The costs of a move vary greatly and depend on many factors, such as the distance, the amount of household goods to be moved and the services chosen. In general, however, an international move is often more expensive. This is due to higher transportation costs, customs fees and possibly the cost of international freight forwarders to help navigate the complexities of international logistics.
