International moving without the stress
An international move is a major life event. Whether you are relocating for work, starting a new adventure abroad, or moving closer to family, an international relocation comes with many changes. With the right preparation, it can be a smooth and successful experience.
That is why it helps to have a relocation partner who oversees the entire process. At Schmidt Global, we manage international relocations from start to finish. With a dedicated Move Manager, a carefully planned relocation strategy, and a global network of trusted partners, we ensure every stage of your move is seamlessly coordinated.
Whether you are moving within Europe or to the other side of the world, we guide you throughout the entire journey. This gives you complete clarity and peace of mind, allowing you to focus on settling into your new home.
How does an international move work?
1. Request a moving estimate
Request a no-obligation moving estimate. We discuss your requirements and destination, after which you receive a quotation.
2. Your dedicated Move Manager
Once you approve the quotation, you will be assigned a dedicated Move Manager. During an introductory call, we review your relocation timeline and answer any questions you may have.
3. Preparing your move
We carefully prepare every aspect of your relocation. This includes packing your belongings, arranging documentation, managing customs requirements, and planning transportation.
4. Transportation to your new destination
Your household goods are transported safely by road, sea freight, or air freight. Throughout the journey, your Move Manager keeps you informed of progress and key milestones.
5. Delivery and settling in
Upon arrival, we carefully deliver your belongings to your new home. If requested, we can also provide unpacking and assembly services, helping you settle in quickly and comfortably.

How much does an international move cost?
The cost of an international relocation depends on several factors.
Method of transportation
Will your belongings be transported by road, sea, or air? Air freight is the fastest option but also the most expensive. Sea freight generally takes longer but is often the more cost-effective solution, especially for larger shipments.
Flexibility of your moving date
Do you have a fixed moving date? This may increase transportation costs. If you are flexible, we can often provide a more economical solution by combining your shipment with others heading to the same destination.
Additional services
Additional services such as storage, professional packing, furniture assembly, and customs support may also influence the final cost. We are happy to discuss the options available and recommend the solution that best matches your needs and budget.

Frequently asked questions about international moving
How long does an international move take?
International relocations are not arranged overnight. The timeframe varies depending on the origin, destination country, and transportation method. While some moves can be completed within days, others may take several weeks or even months. Careful planning helps minimise surprises and ensures a smoother relocation experience.
What documents do I need to provide?
Required documentation depends on your destination country. Moves within Europe generally require less paperwork than relocations outside the European Union. Typical documents may include a passport copy, visa (where required), and an authorisation form. Providing documents early helps us keep your relocation on schedule.
What items can I ship internationally?
Most personal and household items can be shipped internationally, including furniture, clothing, and household goods. However, some countries have restrictions on specific products, food items, protected species, or firearms. Your dedicated Move Manager will guide you through all applicable regulations.
