International assignment from the Netherlands
Relocating means more than just filling a sea container and then boarding a plane. The employee and any possible family members will want to visit the place where they will be staying abroad in advance, to get an idea of the conditions and possibilities. Often, temporary accommodation is needed. Usually, some of the household effects remain behind in the country of origin. Arrangements need to be made for a car. All items – in storage, en route and at the destination – must be insured. This means that dozens of things play a role with an international relocation.
Relocation from the Netherlands involves, but is not limited to, such things as:- Pre-assignment visit / Orientation tour in connection with housing, schools, residential environment, membership of local organisations, sports clubs, etc.
- Planning the move, storage in the Netherlands of items remaining behind, insurance for the relocation, deciding what equipment can be used abroad (in connection with voltage)
- Medical checks, vaccinations, tests (TB), quarantine for pets accompanying the employee
- Furnishing the accommodation
- Organising temporary accommodation
- Arranging local transport for employee and family
- Taking out local liability and home contents insurance
- Local registration with Tax Authorities, Local Authority and other bodies
We can simply take care of moving the household effects, if required. In this case, Borrie Expatriate Services collaborates with highly experienced partners, who work for big international companies. Partners who, like us, know what they’re talking about.
As soon as we start work, we make an appointment with your employee to go through the action and phased plan together and to discuss all of the formalities and consequences associated with the relocation.
