Relocation support

Relocation companies and moving support by country.

Understand what relocation companies can help with, what to ask employers, and how to plan the practical side of moving abroad.

Overview

When relocation companies can help

Relocation companies can support international moves by helping with shipping, temporary accommodation, home search, local registration, school search, banking setup, utilities, and settling-in services. Some employers include relocation vendors in the offer package, while others provide only a fixed allowance.

The value of relocation support depends on your situation. A single candidate moving with two suitcases may need very little help. A family relocating with children, pets, furniture, and school requirements may benefit from structured support.

Relocate Works relocation company pages help candidates understand the service categories and questions to ask before signing an offer or paying for relocation help.
