Expatriate Services for Non-UK Residents (EEA)

If you are planning to move to another country within the European Economic Area, you will need to make use of specialist services to facilitate your move if you do not already have a support network in your chosen country of residence. For a start, you will need to modify your existing insurance arrangements, to ensure that you have sufficient cover for yourself, your family, your possessions and your new property. You should move your life and health insurance to providers that will cover you within your new country of residence and need to insure your vehicle with a provider registered within that country.

Your financial arrangements must also come under review if you plan to permanently relocate within the EEA, since the laws governing tax and investments will vary from country to country. As there is so much to take care of, many expatriates hire an expatriate services firm to facilitate their move and take care of the financial and insurance arrangements. Of course, if you are in a position to manage a number of different companies, it is worth doing some research into the most competitive insurance products and the best overseas financing companies yourself before you take on a firm to manage all of these relationships for you.
