Thinking of relocating for work? Is one of your company’s employees in this situation and do you need advice?
Employee relocation is much more complex than simply moving from one location to another. It is a situation that requires a strategy and analysis to facilitate and optimize the experience of the employees and, if applicable, their families. This is why many people choose to use experts in relocation services.
For smooth and effective relocation, all the necessary procedures must be taken into account. One of the most important concerns of our clients is the actual move.
1) Relocation and national and international removals
Specifically, the removal service for household goods and pets is aimed at companies and individuals relocating for work and moving from their city of origin to another city or country.
Before going into the most important aspects to be taken into account when moving for work, it is important to know the legislation of the country of destination, since in most cases the regulations change, a situation that means the relocating person seeks a totally personalized approach that takes into account both the personal and family needs of the employee.
First of all, we must point out that sometimes it is essential to have a professional team with extensive experience to ensure that there are no complications before, during and at the end of the move, especially if legislation changes at the destination.

2) Documents required for changes of residence
- Document of origin proving that the person who has lived there no longer lives in the residence of origin (e.g., consular certificates, census cancellation, income tax returns, etc.).
- Document of destination proving that the interested party lives in Spain (census registration).
- Passport and Foreigner’s ID number.
3) 5 practical tips for a successful move during a relocation process
- Regarding the factors to be taken into account before leaving the place of origin, the first advice we can give is that the person concerned should cancel all the utilities he/she has arranged (water, gas, telephone, insurance, etc.). It is also advisable to store all your belongings in a dry and clean place so that they do not deteriorate, as well as to have a travel kit with everything you need.
- The second piece of advice we can give is to take into account the volumetric capacity of the vehicles to be used in the move, as well as the number of people involved, so that your belongings are well cared for door to door.
- The third factor to consider is the possibility of having an expert removal team that can protect, advise and inform you of everything you need to consider, from your place of origin to your new destination.
- It is also necessary to take into account the address of both the origin and the destination, in order to assess whether the transport has to be done by sea, air or land, as well as whether it is necessary to request permits from the city council on the day of the transfer.
- Fifth, it is important to be aware that relocating for work can generate stress, difficulties and changes in life, so it is advisable to have the support of a professional to minimize as much as possible the impact of a relocation on the daily routine of the person concerned and his/her family.
In this sense, a recommended practice is to contact a professional well in advance to avoid possible peaks in demand.
