How a concierge relocation service can help with your peace of mind

So, the application was accepted, the interviews are over and you’ve got your dream job. There’s just one catch, it’s on the other side of the world.

This might not sound like an everyday situation, but it’s becoming more and more common for employers to look further afield in their search for talent. As a result, your job may not always be where you are.

Some employers will offer help with relocation, if taking on your new post means that you can’t remain where you are or work remotely. While this will help you to work out just how viable a move of this nature would be financially, it’s a situation that still has a large potential for stress.

Quite apart from adjusting to a new job and all the issues that can bring, such as first day nerves, learning to work with a raft of new people and getting used to the flow of a new business; you also have all the pressures of a major house move.

While there are some people out there who may feel like they have it all under control, there are other options for those of us who don’t want to deal with the stress of this situation alone.

A ‘relocation concierge service’ is designed to make situations like this easier to manage. They offer support at several levels depending on what you need. They can assist with the legal aspect of moving to another country, such as helping you to ascertain the correct visa for your needs, and assisting you with the application process to obtain it. Additionally, they can ensure that you know all the next steps and any pertinent information once you have secured your visa.

Aside from the legal aspect of switching countries however, services like this can provide massive value in ways that have a more direct effect on your day to day life, as well as your ability to find your feet quickly in your new home.

They can help you to search for properties, whether you’re looking to rent or purchase and help you arrange the services such as gas, electric and internet so you don’t need to spend time waiting for activation of vital amenities. They can also source furnishings and set up your new home so that it’s ready for your arrival.

Their removal services can also be invaluable when you need to hit the ground running in a new location. Why spend time carrying boxes of your things to and from a removal truck, when someone else can ensure the whole process is carried out smoothly.

A concierge service of this nature is designed to be comprehensive. Its aim should be to ensure that you feel able to simply step into your new home as easily as you walked out of your old one. To do this they can also take into account acquisition of a new driving licence (if your old one won’t entitle you to drive in your new country) as well as helping you to ensure that you find a healthcare provider.

Naturally, all of these services have an associated cost but relocation services are designed with you in mind, so through consultation you can decide what support you need, and what you might prefer to do yourself.

Whatever level of support you need to make your move a comfortable one, you can rest assured that a professional service such as this exists to help make that big step a little bit easier.
