Top tips for international movers from Hong Kong to the UK

• Your possessions are important and valuable, so don’t forget to get insurance.
• Ensure that you’ve settled your taxes and considered withdrawing your MPF in Hong Kong (allow about one month to get both of these done).
• Rather than just getting rid of things you no longer need, think about donating to charities such as Impact HK or The Salvation Army. Many people shop pre-loved items in Hong Kong on the Facebook Marketplace or forums such as AsiaExpat or GeoExpat.
• Remember to attain any relevant medical, tax, or workplace documents you may require at your next port.
• Have pets? Find out as early as possible all the different options for transporting your beloved animals. In certain cases, pets may need to be in quarantine for several months before being allowed into the UK, so it’s best to know how to avoid this.

Finally, consider pre-UK residency tax planning. You need plenty of time to do this (ideally in the tax year before arriving in the UK) and getting this wrong may cost you. Read our comprehensive guide for further information.
