3 Steps for a Safe Overseas Move in 2020

Right now, the priority across the world is to stay safe and continue with life where possible. It’s been a strange year, but we’ve helped thousands of people move in 2020, so, we wanted to share with future customers the safest, most convenient ways to move during a pandemic. Whilst many would love the world to stop turning, the reality is that it doesn’t. There are visas to fill, jobs to transfer to, and opportunities awaiting in new countries.

So, this is how you can ensure safety is your priority, without compromising on a happy move.

1. Follow the updates on travel advice and guidance

Despite wanting everything to be normal, things aren’t, and every country is dealing with the pandemic in different ways. The best thing you can do for your peace of mind and your move is to be prepared. Governments are constantly updating their official websites with advice for travel and those coming into and out of the country. Take a look at the local news from your destination and ensure you’re aware of any guidelines or quarantining rules you might need to follow. Every country differs with precautions, laws, and rules, and things are changing all the time, so stay up informed.
