Departure Services

Leaving Europe? You will most likely find yourself on a logistical rollercoaster. Through our Departure Support services, you can leave without bureaucratic hurdles. Find out why you need a professional relocation consultant by your side when you leave Europe.

If your assignment in Europe is over, you’re probably already thinking about your new destination. However, before you think about settling into a new country, you need to set your affairs in order.

Leaving Europe is more complicated than packing your bags and jumping on the next flight out.

Here is what you need to check off your list before leaving Europe:

Give timely notice for the end of your rental contract (the exact period depends on the contact terms).

Cancel all your utilities and contracts: internet, mobile phone, gas, electricity, TV, and others.

Deregistering from your local Town Hall (collecting your Model 8 Certificate of Discharge from the European Population Registers)

Hand over your apartment following a strict protocol. Be aware that if this protocol is not followed, you might have to pay penalties or not receive your entire rental deposit back.

Handle medical insurance and/or pension contributions.

Our Departure Services consultants can help you make the right choice for each of these options, depending on your personal circumstances.

Leaving Europe on a tight schedule? You don’t need to overpay your way out of the country or leave issues unsolved.

Through our Departure Services, you will benefit from working closely with your personal departure consultant. Our highly knowledgeable local experts will coordinate all the different steps of your departure. Here’s what we’ll do:

Lease contract termination support and consulting services.

Quotes for the final cleaning of your apartment to maximise your chances of getting the deposit back.

End-to-end support with all the administrative and legal hoops.

Our Departure Support services are designed for expats who have spent a relatively short time in Europe – typically less than three years. This means that you most likely won’t be aware of all the local laws and obligations.

This is where our local experts come in to save the day with:

Extensive knowledge of the national tenancy and expatriation laws.

All the laws that are applicable to foreign workers in Europe.

Fluency in local language to eliminate the need for expensive translators.

All of our knowledge and 45 years of experience in international relocation will be at your service. We help you with:

Support at the apartment handback: our relocation consultants will be right by your side to help prevent irregular practices and ensure that you get your deposit back.

Repairs, cleaning, and more: we’ll handle all these services on your behalf.

Expert insights: we’ll make you aware of everything you need to take care of, from apartment cleaning to de-registering at your local municipality. You won’t have to worry about negative surprises in the short or long run!
