Relocation Flow Chart

Before your homefinding tour, your relocation consultant will contact you to set up a time to speak on the telephone to confirm the finer details of your relocation and your property preferences. You will be provided with ReloJapan's manual series containing an abundance of useful information on popular areas for expats to live, as well as a Welcome Package with local area information on arrival.

Your relocation consultant will carefully pre-select properties that meet your needs prior to the homefinding tour to ensure that you see the very best match of available properties on the market. Your consultant will point out the important details regarding each property during the homefinding tour, as well as the availability of nearby facilities such as supermarkets, post offices, banks, dry cleaning, train and bus stops etc.

Once you have chosen your new home, ReloJapan will handle the submission of housing applications and contract negotiations with the property owner. We will keep you updated along the way on the progress and make arrangements for your utilities to be connected and everything to be up and running in time for your move in day.

The move in day is a very exciting one, with lots of new things to learn. We will provide a detailed inspection prior to any belongings being moved in to document the original condition of the property and explain the details of the contract and any house rules that may apply. You will also be shown how to use your new appliances and other important items such as how, where and when to put out your trash.

ReloJapan’s Settling-In Programs are customized to meet each transferee’s personal needs. Popular items in the line up include assistance with applying for Alien Registration Cards and Re-entry Permits at the respective government offices, assistance with opening a bank account and guided city tours to introduce you to the transportation system, international supermarkets and medical facilities.

Supplemental services such as Tenancy and Expense Management and our 24-Hour Help Line are extremely popular and help to avoid any confusion arising by allowing ReloJapan to remain as your one point of contact throughout your assignment. These services are an essential part of allowing you to settle in to your new surroundings and culture with as little stress as possible.

Upon completion of your assignment in Japan, there will no doubt once again be many things to think about and keep you busy. ReloJapan’s comprehensive repatriation program takes care of all of the necessary closures of Japan related items for you, allowing you to focus on wrapping up things at work and preparing for a smooth return to your home country.
