Many companies make relocation significantly easier for their new employees—whether moving alone or with family—by hiring a relocation agency. Most relocation agencies offer a full-service package for newcomers. Especially for international arrivals, this can save a great deal of stress when searching for suitable accommodation or dealing with time-consuming administrative paperwork.
But these agencies don’t just handle organizational matters. Supporting the social integration of newcomers is also part of their services—from orientation tours and language courses to cultural events.
What relocation agencies offer
Moving organization
Apartment search, scheduling coordination, customs formalities, lease management, and handover of the apartment including condition report.
Administrative matters
Registration at the place of residence, residence permits, work permits, visa formalities. Setup of utilities such as telephone, electricity, gas, water, waste disposal, radio & TV, and vehicle registration. Assistance with opening a bank account, driver’s license conversion, and information on insurance.
Social integration
Information on healthcare services, assistance with school and daycare enrollment, everyday orientation tours at the new location (public transportation, shopping facilities, clubs, sports venues, doctors, etc.), organization of language courses, intercultural training, comprehensive information on leisure activities, cultural and sports events, as well as social meetups and excursions.
