Relocating to a new country is an exciting journey, but it comes with a fair share of planning and preparation. Whether you’re moving to the USA, UK, or Canada, having a structured checklist can help make your international relocation stress-free. At BPL Relocations, we specialize in international relocation services and have helped thousands of families and professionals move seamlessly from Saudi Arabia to their new homes abroad.

Here’s your complete checklist to ensure a smooth transition when moving from Saudi Arabia to the USA, UK, or Canada.

1. Research Visa and Immigration Requirements

Before you begin packing, ensure that your visa and immigration documents are in order. Each country has different requirements based on the purpose of your move—whether it’s work, study, or permanent residence.

Tip: Start the application process early, as some visas may take weeks or even months for approval.

2. Choose a Reliable International Relocation Company

Working with a trusted partner like BPL Relocations ensures peace of mind. With offices in Dammam, Jubail, Riyadh, and Jeddah, and a global network of agents, we provide end-to-end relocation services, including packing, shipping, customs clearance, and delivery to your new doorstep abroad.

3. Sort and Declutter Your Belongings

Moving internationally is a great opportunity to declutter. Sort your items into categories: keep, donate, sell, or dispose. Not everything needs to make the journey overseas—save on shipping by moving only what’s essential or valuable.

4. Gather Important Documents

Make sure you have all your critical documents in one place, including:

  • Passports and visas

  • Birth and marriage certificates

  • Educational records

  • Medical and vaccination records

  • Financial documents

  • Employment letters or contracts

Store both physical and digital copies in secure locations.

5. Understand Customs Regulations

Every country has its own set of customs laws regarding what can and cannot be imported. Consult with your international relocation services provider to learn about restricted or prohibited items in the USA, UK, or Canada.

At BPL Relocations, we guide our clients through customs regulations and handle the necessary paperwork to avoid delays or penalties.

6. Plan Your Finances

Inform your bank of your move, explore international banking options, and review tax implications in your destination country. Budget for expenses such as:

  • Shipping and relocation costs

  • Temporary accommodation

  • Utility connections

  • Local transportation

7. Secure Accommodation in Advance

Before you land, it’s crucial to arrange a place to stay. Whether it’s temporary housing or a permanent home, having a confirmed address will help with documentation, school enrollment, and banking.

8. Book Your Move Early

Peak seasons for relocation can lead to limited availability and higher costs. Secure your international movers at least 4-6 weeks in advance. BPL Relocations provides flexible scheduling and customized solutions tailored to your timeline and budget.

9. Prepare for the Move Day

  • Pack a travel essentials bag with clothes, toiletries, documents, medications, and valuables.

  • Label boxes for easy unpacking.

  • Confirm moving dates and times with your relocation company.

  • Leave your old home clean and settled.

10. Stay Connected

Keep friends and family informed about your new address. Don’t forget to update your contact details with your employer, bank, insurance providers, and any service subscriptions.
