Relocation handled end to end
Relocating is rarely one decision — it is fifty small ones taken under time pressure in an unfamiliar system. RFI Travels manages the sequence: what has to happen before you fly, what can only be done once you arrive, and what will quietly cause problems months later if it is skipped.
What is included
- Pre-move planning — a written relocation timeline covering documents, notice periods, schooling and shipping.
- Housing search — area briefings and property shortlists matched to commute, schools and budget.
- School placement — finding and applying to schools for accompanying children, including catchment and admissions timing.
- Shipping and logistics coordination — connecting you with vetted freight partners and tracking the consignment.
- Settling-in services — bank accounts, national insurance and tax registration, healthcare enrolment, driving licences and utilities.
- Family and spouse support — dependant documentation and guidance on a partner’s right to work or study.
The first ninety days
Most relocation problems surface in the first three months, when temporary arrangements expire and permanent ones have not yet been granted. We stay engaged through that window rather than closing the file at the airport.
How the process runs
- Discovery. We establish who is moving, on what status, and to where.
- Plan. You receive a dated checklist splitting pre-departure from post-arrival tasks.
- Preparation. Housing, schooling and shipping are arranged before departure where possible.
- Arrival. We coordinate pickup, temporary accommodation and the first registrations.
- Settlement. We work through the remaining registrations until the household is fully established.
Who this is for
Families moving together, professionals taking up a post abroad, students relocating with dependants, and returning diaspora re-establishing themselves.
