From 1st January 2021 new paperwork, documentation and customs requirements apply. Your Move Manager will be able to advise you on the latest situation and guide you through completing any necessary documentation.

We will take care of the customs clearance on your behalf in Austria, so you will need not worry. It is, however, imperative that you have the correct documents in place. Our move managers will be pleased to guide you through everything that is required.

You will need to ensure you have the right residence requirements, visa or passport depending on the nature of your stay. This will vary depending on whether you are a UK or EU citizen, or have permanent or temporary residency in Germany.

Part load removals or dedicated load service for moving to Germany?

Most people who move to Germany use our part load removal service which is especially useful for small removals. You will save money as it enables you to share the costs and benefit from economies of scale. This service does however take longer to arrive.

Your belongings are loaded onto a removals van or larger European road train to be sent via road freight to your destination.

Alternatively, if you have a large move to Germany, you can use our dedicated or full load service. With the full load service, you will have your own lorry with a crew. This allows for greater flexibility and is a lot faster. However, most of our customers use a part load service as it is more cost-effective.

Whether you use full load or part load, you are in safe hands with PSS International Removals.

Our specially trained and experienced export packers will ensure all your belongings are safely wrapped using packing materials and bubble wrap, before being carefully packed before being loaded into your container.

Living in Germany

Where to get up to date advice on living in Germany?

When you are moving to Germany from the UK is a good idea to consult the UK government website guide on Living In Germany. This provides a whole range of advice on entry requirements, health, education and working in Germany.

It also provides information on any current issues you need to know about.

Buying property in Germany

When you first move to Germany it may be a good idea to rent first while you become familiar with the market and area you wish to live in. We will be able to help you store your belongings with our local partners whilst you find your property.

Purchasing property in Germany differs from the UK so make sure you seek professional advice from people familiar with the local area.

Work in Germany

Despite the current situation, there are opportunities for working in Germany. If you are fortunate you may move to Germany as an expat or on an intra-company transfer.

Having a good understanding of the local language will certainly improve your work prospects. But being self-employed or buying a business is an option.

Nowadays more people are taking advantage of remote working – basing themselves in Germany whilst keeping in touch online.

Healthcare in Germany

There is good quality healthcare available in Germany. However, you will need to check what you are entitled to or if your company provides healthcare benefits.

Otherwise taking out a private healthcare policy is a good option.
