The Ultimate Packing List for Expatriates Moving Abroad

01---------------You’ve done your research on your destination country, sealed a job (or at least have a

02---solid lead) and now you’re ready to make the move! The next step is one of the more tedious

03---steps: packing. While some of the items that you’ll need in your host country will be available

04---there, others may be difficult to find, or much more expensive to purchase abroad. Here is

05---the ultimate list of everything that you need to pack for a long-term trip or international

06---relocation:

07---1. Personal documentation is important when traveling overseas because it is necessary to prove

08------your identity when traveling to different countries. Make sure you have the original and a copy

09------of all of these important documents for each family member. When flying, always keep the

10------originals in your carry-on in case your checked bags are lost.

11---2. If you are on a certain medication or used to taking over-the-counter medication, make sure

12------you take as large a supply as possible. Finding medicine, or a doctor who can prescribe your

13------medication while on a long trip can be more difficult than expected, and will often be more

14------expensive than purchasing these items in your home country.

15---3. In a world where we are so heavily reliant on technology, some items can play a crucial role

16------in your international relocation, especially if you’re a digital nomad. From the loss of

17------entertainment to increased safety risks, forgetting to pack any of your tech gadgets could

18------cause hardships, so make sure to include each of these items on your packing list.

19---4. While packing items like socks and underwear goes without being said, other items like flip-

20------flops may be easier to forget but are equally important for your move (depending on the

21------climate). Your first move should be to check the weather for each season. Know what the

22------temperature will be and plan accordingly. There is no point in packing a tank top if you’re

23------going somewhere with cold weather all year.

24---5. While most of the personal hygiene items will be available in your host country, some will be

25------harder to find than others, and some of these items will be more affordable to purchase at

26------a large discount store before leaving your home country than waiting to purchase in your host

27------country.

28---------------Start packing now for your international relocation, it is always better to start early. If

29---you don’t have what you need, you can buy it before you go. It can be overwhelming, but

30---hopefully, with this travel packing list, you will be better prepared.
