If you’re moving from your home country to another country, you should know a few things about the moving process. Whether you’re moving for better employment opportunities or educational opportunities, you should know some things about the country you are moving to before you make the final move.
Research: It takes a lot of work to move to a whole another country. There is more to it than surface level procedures. Paperwork takes time and so does actually moving there. There is bound to be a lot of confusion when dealing with immigration officials and other bureaucracy on the way to become a citizen of the country. Also research things like the basic politics and climate of the country as well as other behaviours and habits that may mean something else in that country than what it means in your home country.
Language: As an expat, it is imperative that you learn the language of the country you are going to live in. When relocating to India, we know you won’t be speaking their language fluently within two days of living in that country. However you should start earlier and learn the basic words in the language so that you can communicate basic things to the locals when you land in the country. This will help you ask for directions, the cost and other information you may need to exchange with the locals.
Local culture: If you’re moving to Singapore from India, you should know what kind of culture the country has and how is it different from that of your home country. The first step in adapting to the new city and customs is to know what things do you have to do differently here than in your home country. This also depends on the neighbourhood you have decided to live in. There are differences you need to adjust to like food, festivals, sports, pop culture, etc.
Financial arrangements: Before and during the move there are many financial responsibilities you must take care of. Create a bank account at a local bank branch and transfer your money there for you to spend it all through shipping household goods from Singapore to India and setting up your new house. Also understand how the tax system works in the country and how and what you must pay as tax. You can even meet up with accountants and financial advisers to consult you in this process.
A preview trip: Even before hiring international relocation services Singapore, first visit the country that is going to be your new home. When you spend one or two weeks in the country, you get a fair idea about the lifestyle, climate, people and culture there. We advise that you also make some enquiries about the housing and the schools there and decide on your budgets while you’re at it.
