Required Documents for Your Easy Africa Move
  • Passport with the Residence Permit
  • Customs Declaration Form, if applicable
  • Proof of Custody or Gaurdianship
  • The Requirement of Work Permit
  • Other Documents

Passport with the Residence Permit

You should have a copy of both your passport and residence permit for a minimum period of 1 year, which is crucial if you are moving to any African country. It is mandatory for both permanent and temporary migrants. Your shifting will be easier with these documents.

 

Customs Declaration Form, if applicable

A customs declaration form is important if you are carrying goods like alcoholic drinks, fresh foods, animal products, and tobacco. Taking such goods into another country’s border or customs territory requires everything to be declared in advance. You might also have to pay customs duty on such goods.

 

Proof of Custody or Guardianship

Moving to Africa with a minor requires proof of custody or guardianship. Make sure you are submitting the evidence of your children’s custody. In case a child of your family or friends is accompanying you to the region, it is important to sign the essential documents as a guardian.

 

Work Permit Requirement

A business permit is required if you are planning to start your business in Africa. This helps in hiring the employees and operating easily. Besides, make sure you have a general work permit to work with any African company. Ensuring to provide and sign an employment contract with other vital documents asked by the concerned authorities is crucial.

 

Other Documents

It is advised to contact the African Embassy for other mandatory documents to carry when moving to Africa.

For smooth and easy relocation, it is advised to carry all essential documents with you; otherwise, you will find yourself in serious complications like denied boarding at the airport, entry refusal at the destination, residency issues, employment delays, etc.

Do's or Don't

For those who are facing problems in shifting their homes, offices, or studios from one place to another, we are here to help. APML ensure that "Nothing other than the place changes..." as we clearly understand how tedious and stressful packing and moving can be.

This stress could even result in total disaster sometimes, if certain important things are not kept in mind. Here’s what you should do and avoid for a smoother migration.

The Do’s

 

  • Nothing goes right without planning. So, plan your move in advance.
  • To avoid any future obstacles, prepare a checklist.
  • Think about the required things like foam sheets, boxes, tapes, scissors, etc., for uncomplicated packing.
  • Make use of solid and durable boxes for maximum safety, as they will hold up through multiple moves.
  • Label each box with appropriate stickers to avoid confusion.
  • Consider zero transshipment to prevent breakage.
  • The vehicle should be ready to cover long distances.
  • Proper insurance of goods should be made to claim your approximate value in case of theft, loss, or a road accident.

The Don’ts

 

  • Packing in a hurry can lead to damage to goods and skipping on necessary materials.
  • Fragile items should be packed first.
  • Never pack fragile and delicate items with heavier ones.
  • Loose bundling of items or boxes can damage the goods.
  • The mode of transportation should have passed crucial clearance, and proper servicing should be done.
  • At least one personnel member of the hiring company should accompany your goods to the destination.
  • Do not hire any relocation company in a hurry; this may result in fake services and false promises (discounts).
  • Avoid renting trucks with less space for a huge volume of goods, as this can damage the goods and result in money lost.
  • Do not pack and move your furniture or electrical appliances without dismantling; this can increase the burden on packing boxes.
  • Never mix up packed and unpacked items together, as this consumes more time.
