Steps to successful relocation in Alsace

Relocating to Alsace can be exciting, but it can also be a challenge. Whether you’re an individual looking for a new adventure, or a company wishing to facilitate the mobility of its employees, a successful relocation requires careful planning and the right knowledge.

Here are a few essential steps to make your move to Alsace as smooth as possible.

It is advisable to start preparing for geographic mobility around 6 to 4 months before the planned move.

  1. Define your needs and expectations

The first step to a successful relocation is to understand your needs and expectations.

Whether you’re looking to relocate for a short time or permanently, drawing up detailed specifications will help you navigate the process of finding accommodation, schools, administrative services and much more.

  • Analyze your current situation: the reasons for and objectives of the relocation, your personal and professional needs related to the move, any constraints, such as deadlines or budget.

  • Draw up a list of search criteria for your new home (surface area, budget, neighborhood, proximity to transportation, etc.).

  • List all the settlement and administrative formalities to be carried out, including those concerning the family if this is the case (schooling, childcare, activities, French language training, spouse’s job search…).

  • Define a timeline for each stage of the relocation process, taking into account important deadlines and deadlines.

  • Set a precise budget for your relocation : integrate the services of a relocation agency into your project to control your budget, save time and, above all, gain peace of mind!

2. Find your ideal home

Finding accommodation can be complex, especially if you’re not familiar with the destination city and the local real estate market. In addition to the characteristics of your future home, the choice of neighborhood is also very important: evaluate safety, proximity to public transport, distance to work, schools, shops and essential services to facilitate your daily life, etc…

There are, of course, real estate agency websites to visit, but also sites like the boncoin,  Seloger, for sale for rent,  paru-vendu  …

But you can delegate the search! Our dedicated team will help you find the accommodation that meets your criteria and budget, whether temporary or permanent. We select properties according to your criteria, drawing on our knowledge of the local market and reliable partners.

If you are eligible, you can also benefit from the aide Mobili-Pass, a subsidy from Action Logement that covers your search for a new home, as well as certain formalities associated with your move to Alsace. Your free relocation!

3. Manage administrative procedures:

The administrative steps involved in relocation can be tedious. On the one hand, you need to take care of all the administrative formalities involved in leaving your current country/city and home: informing the authorities, social organizations, banks and service providers of your move.

On the other hand, you’ll also have to deal with the administrative formalities in your destination city: immigration formalities if necessary, health, banking, new accommodation, schooling…

3. Discover the region and fit in

Once you have found your new home, it is essential to familiarize yourself with your neighborhood and local life By actively exploring your neighborhood and city, taking part in local events and interacting with the local community, you’ll quickly feel at home in your new city.
