Moving overseas has been unpredictable in recent years, with the pandemic causing a halt to international travel. Now that countries like England have started to ease restrictions and open their borders again, you may be wondering – what processes do I need to go through to officially begin my move? If you are planning on moving from Australia to London in 2022, we have just the answers for you.
With years of experience at Overseas Packers & Shippers, we know how to navigate uncertain times and get people to where they need to be. There are multiple things to consider when moving from Australia currently, including the newly introduced vaccination passports, restrictions, shipping timeframes, and what it is like in the UK right now. Here is a quick rundown of the most important factors to be aware of in organising your overseas move to London.
What To Expect
London is currently experiencing a “new normal”. Cruises are back, masks are off, and there is no longer a limit on venues either public or private. After being hit hard by the pandemic, the country is finally easing back to a sense of normalcy, with all non-essential locations such as cafes, bars, museums, and theatres all reopening following the easing of restrictions in July. This means that you will be able to enjoy London in all its glory, but even though there are currently no countries in the red category prohibited from entering England, it is always important to check any updates as they happen.
Another important thing to note is that each city will have varying restrictions based on their situation. As the time comes closer to your move to London, you will want to research if they are still wearing masks in your new city, if there are any lockdowns in place, if there are social distancing rules and so on. For England, there are currently no face masks or social distancing rules legally required, but you will see that you still have to stay 1.5 metres away from others in areas such as the airport. As always you should try to socially distance when you can and wear masks within crowded spaces. In the lead-up to your trip, remember to stay alert, read the news, and take measures to ensure you are being as safe as can be in your travels.
Making The Move
While you may be able to live freely when you get to London now that restrictions have eased, there are still measures to take into consideration before making the move. With open communication and dedication to see your items overseas safely, at Overseas Packers & Shippers we take every measure possible to ensure your items reach their destination as soon as possible. We will work with you to allow plenty of time for your goods to get to where they need to be, taking some of the stress off of your shoulders so you can have a good time navigating your new life in London’s new normal.
