by Puspa Awalia P on Oct 02, 2025

Whether you are a foreigner who has lived in Indonesia for a few years or an Indonesian planning to stay abroad long-term, here’s what you need to know to make your relocation process easy.
1. Deciding What to Bring or Leave Behind
One of the biggest challenges is deciding which items to take with you and which to leave behind. To make this easier:
- Prioritize essential and sentimental items.
- Maximize your shipment by balancing capacity with your budget.
- Consider selling, donating, or storing items that you don’t plan to take with you.
2. Packing Your Belongings
Packing can be overwhelming, especially if you lack experience. Some items require extra care to avoid damage during shipment. Here are a few tips:
- Use high-quality packing materials for fragile and valuable items.
- Label boxes clearly for easier unpacking later.
- Hire professional packing services for peace of mind, especially for bulky or delicate items.
3. Preparing Supporting Documents
Relocating internationally requires proper documentation. Be sure to have the following ready:
- Personal Identification: Passport, visa, and work permits.
- Shipping Documents: Packing lists, invoices, and customs forms.
- Relocation Documents: Residency termination letters, bank account closure forms, and tax clearance certificates.
- Destination Requirements: Research the necessary paperwork for importing goods and registering in your new country.
