For permanent residence in England, you will need a visa and often proof of your livelihood. Driving licenses or insurance policies may also need to be adjusted. We can advise you on the necessary steps and help you with the organization.
Pets, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products are subject to special regulations in England. For example, pets must comply with strict quarantine regulations. We can help you to meet these requirements and plan your transportation accordingly.
