The documents you will need for an international move
Moving overseas is one of the most complicated relocation processes there are. Not only do you have to plan everything to the smallest detail, but you are also moving to an area that you do not know. Luckily, there are international moving companies NYC who are experts at this, and who will help you organize a smooth international relocation. There is still one thing they cannot do. That is, prepare the documents you will need for an international move. Read on to learn more about the essential papers needed for this adventure.
What are the documents you need for an international move?
First and foremost, you need your passport. Each family member will need their own passport in order to leave and enter a country. In case you do not have one, you can easily start the process to obtain it. Keep in mind that it may take a few weeks to arrive. If you already have one, that’s great! Just make sure that it is not expiring any time soon. Some countries have regulations on how long your passport needs to last to be able to cross the border. If you are moving with a pet, they need to have a valid passport and an immunization record as well!
In fact, you need medical records for everyone
Now that we’ve mentioned your pet’s medical records, we actually want to mention that you will need one as well. This is even more important if you have a serious medical condition that requires you to take medicine regularly or visit a doctor more often. Even after you move to a new country, for example moving from NYC to Europe, you should seek out to find a new doctor’s office as soon as possible. You never know when you might need assistance, and it’s better to be safe than sorry!
An adequate work permit is necessary
While this is not something you need when visiting as a tourist, moving and living in a new country requires you to have a work permit. U. Santini Moving and Storage Brooklyn will gladly take care of all the logistics and permits regarding your belongings, but you need to obtain a permit and a visa on your own. Different countries have different laws, and it’s better to research this way in advance. If you already have a job, then ask your employer if they can assist you with the paperwork. We are sure they will help you out!
School records are on the list of documents needed for an international move
If you are moving overseas with kids, don’t forget these. In order to enroll them in a new school, they will need to have their records from a previous school. This will help their new teachers and principals to put them in an adequate class and help them adapt to a different educational system. Moving internationally doesn’t have to be difficult!

These guys are TRUE PROFESSIONALS! We've now moved with them twice (once in 2017 and then again this week) and we really can't say enough good things about them. Simi is incredibly easy to work with for scheduling and quotes, and the crews - John, Super Mario, and everyone - are just awesome. They're quick, incredibly careful and conscientious, and super friendly. If we ever move again (and god I hope we don't have to) we're absolutely calling them.

How soon should I schedule my move?
It is recommended to arrange for the services of a moving company at least 8 weeks ahead of your planned move. If you plan to move during the holiday season or in the summer, it is advisable to schedule the move 12 weeks in advance. However, for moves that occur between September and May, you may be able to book movers with just 2 weeks' notice. Ideally, you should secure your moving crew as soon as you have all the necessary information about your relocation.
Does your company offer packing supplies?
We do. In addition to providing you with the essential boxes and packing supplies required for your relocation, we offer several "Saver" packages tailored to the size of your home. If you do not use all the boxes you have bought, you can return them to the moving team at the end of your move, and we will reimburse the remaining amount.
