Moving to Spain

What Services Do I Need to Move to Spain?

When moving to Spain, there are many aspects to consider to ensure a successful relocation. First and foremost, obtaining a visa and health insurance are the prerequisites for a smooth and stress-free relocation process. Once the visa has been granted and other entry requirements have been met, it is time to think about the moving process.

• • Are you moving the whole household?
  • Are you taking a few pieces of furniture, electronics, and all your personal belongings?
  • Or maybe you are planning to take only personal belongings but will purchase new furniture in Spain instead?
  • Do you have pets that will be relocating with you?

It is a lot of questions, however, knowing what will be moved, helps relocation companies to provide you with more accurate estimated relocation costs.

Let’s start from the beginning.

When relocating to Spain, it is important to work with an experienced and trusted international relocation service that will be able to guide you through the process step by step. Rather than doing it yourself, let the move manager handle everything from necessary documentation, packing and uplift here in Australia to preparing for customs and quarantine requirements in Spain, and organise storage until the shipping vessel is ready to leave the docks. Then repeat everything in Spain. With relocation services, everything is arranged for you. Allow removalists to do the hard work.

At Palmers, we can relocate any size shipment from a single box of clothing up to a 40ft container of household goods and cars. How to know what shipping method would be the best one for you – groupage or full container load?

– Full Container Loads (FCL) – the fastest way to transport your goods overseas (by sea). Only your goods are loaded and secured in the container, then container is sealed and shipped by sea as soon as it’s possible to book a vessel.

– Shared Container Loads (Groupage) – is the cost-effective way to transport your goods overseas. Goods are loaded into the container along with other people’s goods to the same destination and you split the shipping cost.

– Less than Full Container Loads (LCL) – is great for small shipments that require fast delivery. Shipment is wrapped and secured in wooden crates and then loaded into a container with other goods.

At Palmers, we provide free in-house or video consultations where our experienced home relocations consultants provide in-depth information about the moving process, shipping options tailored to your needs and requirements, expected delivery time and estimated costs for a better decision. Alternatively, contact our friendly team via phone or email for any questions you may have.

If you want to enhance your moving experience even more, explicitly designed added value services like exit cleaning services, valet unpacking service and more will alleviate stress and ensure you actually enjoy moving.
