Settling-In Services
Complete your transition—expert help with every post-move task
Professional Settling-In Assistance for Expatriates
The physical move is just the beginning. After your employees arrive and move into their new home, they face a daunting list of administrative tasks, local bureaucracy, and practical setup needs—all in an unfamiliar system, often in a foreign language.
Our settling-in services handle all these post-move details on your behalf. We guide you through administrative requirements, connect you with reliable service providers, and help establish all the practical elements that transform a house into a functioning home. From the mundane but essential (driver's license conversion) to the lifestyle-enhancing (finding the right gym or social clubs), we ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Our Settling-In Support Process: Complete Life Setup Assistance
1. Pre-Arrival Consultation & Preparations
Before the employee arrives, we conduct a detailed consultation to understand their settling-in needs and priorities. We discuss essential administrative requirements (driver's license conversion, vehicle needs, registrations), lifestyle preferences (domestic help, transportation, leisure activities), and family requirements.
We initiate time-sensitive processes before arrival: collecting and preparing necessary documentation for administrative tasks, scheduling early appointments for procedures with long waiting times, and compiling personalized resource lists and contact information tailored to their specific needs.
​
2. Immediate Post-Arrival Setup
Within the first days after arrival, we ensure essential elements are in place: SIM card activation and mobile service setup, immediate transportation solutions if needed, connection with any pre-arranged services, and confirmation that all pre-planned appointments are on track.
​
3. Administrative Tasks Support
We guide employees through essential bureaucratic processes: driver's license conversion procedures (documentation, appointments, testing if required), vehicle registration and local insurance requirements, residence permit registration with authorities, tax registration if applicable, and any other mandatory administrative formalities. We explain requirements, help prepare documents, accompany to appointments if needed, and provide translation support throughout.
​
4. Domestic Support Services
We help find and vet reliable domestic support: housekeepers and cleaning services, childcare providers (if applicable), gardeners or maintenance services, personal shoppers or errand services. We facilitate interviews with pre-screened candidates and reference checks to ensure quality and trustworthiness.
​
5. Lifestyle & Recreation Setup
We connect employees with lifestyle amenities that match their interests: gyms, sports facilities, and fitness centers, social clubs and expat organizations, hobby groups and recreational activities, restaurants, entertainment venues, and cultural attractions, family activities and children's programs, and networking opportunities for professional and social connections.
6. Ongoing Troubleshooting & Support
Throughout the first months, we remain available to help troubleshoot issues, answer questions, provide additional recommendations, and ensure all settling-in elements are progressing smoothly. We proactively check in to identify any emerging needs.
