The Relocation Process

We have a very clear and straightforward process for Individuals, Families and HR teams involved to help support a smooth and easy transition into a new life

Relocating to India means managing visas, finding housing, choosing schools, and understanding a new culture — all while starting a new job or assignment.

Our Relocation Journey Map shows exactly what happens before you move, when you arrive, and as you settle into life in India. No guesswork. No confusion. Just clear steps from start to finish.

Everything Expats guides individuals, families, and corporate teams through every stage — in any Indian city that you need help moving into

The Relocation Journey Map: 3 Simple Phases

Your relocation unfolds in three clear stages. We support you through every step.

PHASE 1 — MOVE

Before You Leave Your Current Home

We prepare everything you need before you board your flight — so you arrive in India knowing exactly what happens next.

What Happens in Phase 1:
  1. Visa & Documentation Support

We guide you through visa preparation for you and your dependents. You get document checklists and help preparing FRRO requirements — so nothing is missed.

  1. Preview Visit (if applicable)

  1. City Orientation (pre-arrival)

We explain your new city before you arrive: safe neighborhoods, commute times, where to find international schools, healthcare, and daily essentials. Whether you are moving to Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Pune, Chennai, or Hyderabad — we give you the local knowledge you need.

  1. Relocation Online App Setup

You and your HR team get access to track every task, timeline, and update in one place. Full visibility from start to finish.

Your Experience in Phase 1:

  • You know what to expect

  • Your timeline is clear

  • You feel prepared, not anxious

  • Your employer sees progress in real time


PHASE 2 — LAND

Your First Days in India

The first days in a new country are the hardest. You do not know where to buy groceries, how to get a SIM card, or which neighborhoods are safe.

We support you during this critical time — so you are not figuring it out alone.

Your Experience in Phase 2:

  • You are supported from the moment you arrive

  • You have someone by your side in an unfamiliar place

  • Your adjustment is smoother and calmer

  • Your family feels safe and informed

Arrival Support

We meet you at your temporary accommodation (depending on your package) and help you settle into your first days in India.

School Visits (for families)

We schedule school visits, explain each curriculum, and support you through early admissions steps — so your children feel settled too.

Local Orientation (in-person)

We show you supermarkets, healthcare clinics, banks, ATMs, and transport options. You get a local SIM card, learn about cost of living, and understand daily routines.

Daily Essentials Setup

We help you stock groceries, set up household basics, and learn which apps and services make life easier. You understand cultural norms for daily interactions.

Home Search (in-person property viewings)

We schedule viewings and accompany you to each property. You see safe, expat-friendly neighborhoods and get honest guidance on choosing the right home.

PHASE 3 — LIVE

Settling Into Life in India

Once you have a home and your family is settled, we help you adjust to daily life — and stay with you throughout your entire assignment.

From FRRO registration to tenancy management to departure planning, we are here until the day you leave India.

What Happens in Phase 3:
  1. Home Finalization

We review your lease, coordinate your move-in, and help with utilities and building requirements — so you start your life in India smoothly.

  1. FRRO Registration & Compliance

We guide you through the documents required, help prepare online applications, and schedule appointments. We support dependents, police verification, C-Forms, and tenant verification.

School Settling-In

We support you through final enrollment steps and help you understand school expectations. Follow-up assistance is available as needed.

Tenancy Management

We support you throughout your stay — helping with landlord communication, guidance on renewals, and understanding rent expectations.

Cultural & Language Support

We offer optional help understanding cultural norms and basic language guidance — so daily interactions feel more comfortable.

Departure Services (when your assignment ends)

We support your move-out, help close utilities, assist with deposit settlements, guide RP transfers or exit permits, and coordinate with your next destination.
