No matter how impressive the geography and culture of Indonesia is; our decision to relocate to the nation must not be influenced by these secondary factors. Isn’t it?
Let’s say, you are someone working in the travel industry and your profile requires you to visit different places all around the globe. But despite your outgoing conduct and your backpacking desire, you would feel unsure of taking the big call of planning your next move to Indonesia (if we hypothetically believe you are anticipating it shortly!)
Well, it is quite normal to feel overwhelmed with the idea of relocations initially and more so, if the journey involves extensive travel and too much work. But you can process all of that if you speak to a reliable team of movers in Indonesia, without any delay.
Start like this…
• Note down everything that you want your team of movers to provide you with
• Prioritize the expertise of the moving company you hire because that is what will ascertain utmost safety for your belongings
• Try to dig deep into the website of the shortlisted moving options to decide the services you will choose
• In case of having special relocation needs including vehicle shipping, furniture handling, and moving, specialty items moving, pet and plant moving, storage services, etc., you should get in touch with the moving company authority
• Relocating to a new place is not only about hiring a professional company but assigning the task to a team that you can trust more with everything
• So, take your time to read every detail about the services offered, pricing structure, payment terms, infrastructural strengths that the company has insurance coverage terms, transit duration, packaging resources, etc.
• Take note if the professionals exude expertise and precision and are acknowledging your concerns with proper answers and solutions or simply evading it
• Moving long distance or internationally would require one to look into various other aspects and not just the moving plan, so make sure the company you have hired coordinates all the other facets for you and makes things sorted
• Keep additional funds with you to overcome mid-move emergencies
Note: Inquire about the estimated delivery time, your storage needs, and the documents they will check before processing the move. Do also ask about the restricted items for the move and the guidelines that you should take care of additionally so that you remain at peace.
Work out priorities at your end…
When it comes to lining up the pre-move tasks involved in preparing yourself for an upcoming move, the main idea remains the same, which is – taking care of quality packaging, getting suitable moving insurance, investing in the right kind of resources so that there is no disruption or discrepancy in the move process, etc. Also, sticking to a foolproof plan, a realistic timeline, and lining up the professionals on board early on adequately support the moving process.
For someone like you who is planning to relocate to Indonesia, some more things would need to be taken into account and we shall mention them all right below:
• Indonesia is one such country that requires immigrants to have a visa. There could be any reasons why a person might choose to relocate to Indonesia – it could be for work, for business, or some personal or family needs and unless there is a genuine visa supporting the individual’s entry and stay purpose in the country, he/she shall not be allowed to enter the premises.
• The entire process of visa application till the time of its procurement is indeed quite long-drawn and the struggle might grow if you are someone relocating from a far-fetched location, that too, for the first time. But in the next points, we shall talk about everything related to Visas and how you can make the whole procedure of attaining one easy for you.
• To obtain a visa to streamline your entry to Indonesia, you would need to apply for Vitas. ‘Vitas’ is the name of a visa that one has to carry with them when they are crossing national boundaries to enter Indonesia. This shall be scrutinized by the authorities at the airport or by the embassy consulates once you have reached Indonesia.
• Next is the temporary stay permit (ITAS) that you shall be provided by the embassy depending on the tenure of your move. The reason why obtaining Itas is important is that this is what will help you with the permanent stay permit for living in Indonesia lifelong.
• Remember you should certainly have a temporary stay permit with you even if you do not wish to stay in the country for longer. Not only the ‘Itas’ will help you with the identification requisites in Indonesia while you are living there for a week but will help you to apply for a permanent residency permit for your future stay in Indonesia.
• There are many more terms, clauses, and procedures to be worked out when you are moving to Indonesia, and to understand all of that clearly, you should either speak to the consulate of the Indonesian embassy in India (if you are relocating from India) or from wherever you are relocating, so you can arrange your paperwork ahead of the move keeping in mind the key specifics required.
• The process of applying for a Visa when you are moving to Indonesia could make things taxing. So, it is better if you get going with the process as early as possible by doing all that it may require. This would need you to explore a bit more, communicate with the moving professionals – International Movers Indonesia, and look into the websites of immigration and ex-pats so that you can prepare yourself for the journey painlessly.
