Relocations in Europe are on the agenda more than ever. This applies both to job-related moves, as international companies in particular like to send their young executives abroad for a while, and to moves for private reasons. It may be because of love or it may be the move to the south in retirement. The EU-wide rules of free movement and the possibility to take a job in another EU member state without any hurdles, as well as other regulations, make it easier for EU citizens to move and live in all EU member states.

A move – within Europe is associated with less administrative work and usually also significantly lower costs than an international move outside the EU or an
move overseas
. Nevertheless, a move across national borders – and thus usually over a long distance – remains a challenge that can be met better, faster and easier with a professional moving company.

Special features of a move in Europe compared to international moves

The regulation of free movement for all EU citizens in all states that are members of the EU brings with it some special features. Thus, customs and import regulations are completely eliminated when moving within the EU. Other formalities, such as obtaining a work permit, do not have to be completed either. In the end, you can pack your bags and just look for a new apartment and a new job in another EU country. In addition, as an EU citizen, one gains direct access to the existing social security systems, is entitled to payment of the pension and can easily join the health insurance in the new place.

Also, in many cases, depending on the volume, the transport of the removal goods can be easily done by truck or a van. Of course, a professional moving company will also check the different means of transportation for moves in Europe and which one is the cheapest or best option for your specific needs.
