Moving to Munich From UK

Removals to Munich

The capital of Bavaria, Munich is famous for its Oktoberfest celebrations – but it’s not just the beer that has people flocking to the city. The third-largest city in Germany, Munich is a thriving centre for science, technology, and the creative industries and offers beautiful architecture and history with centuries-old buildings and numerous museums.

Key attractions include the Marienplatz square and its impressive town hall which has been the heart of the city since 1158.

Like many large cities in Germany, Munich has a distinct culture and atmosphere that has to be experienced in person. Whether you’re relocating for a better quality of life or to progress your career, there are plenty of reasons why a growing number of people from the UK are moving to Munich, for both business and personal reasons. If your dream is to move from the West Midlands to Munich, then contact us about our Removals to Munich service to see how we can help make the relocation process as stress-free as possible!

Planning Your Move to Munich

There are a few things you will need to do before you move to Munich, such as securing a Schengen or Residence Permit Visa and finding accommodation.

When it comes to importing your belongings to Germany from the UK, there are a number of items you are not permitted to import and some may need to be declared to customs. We can run through this comprehensive list of importation bans and restrictions to ensure that you know exactly what to expect on your move to Germany.

At Reads Removals we will keep you updated on the latest changes so you can have everything you need for a successful, stress-free move.

Living in Munich

As you would probably expect there are a few differences between living in Germany and the UK. Munich offers a rich culture and thriving lifestyle that’s enjoyed by many British expats. You can even join an expat community to make the transition to life in Germany that little bit easier. 

Here is a helpful list of things you will need to do once you have arrived in Munich:

• Register at the local Einwohnermeldeamt (registration office) – This will provide you with essential documentation that you need to live and work efficiently in Germany.
• Set up a German bank account 
• Register with a health insurer
• Enrol children aged between 6 to 15 with a school
• Register your car and switch to a German driving licence within six months of arriving

 I had an excellent experience using Reads Removals. An efficient video survey saving me the need to fill in loads of forms to get a quote and also have my questions answered. I had quotes from multiple companies and Reads were definitely good value. I had regular communication in the lead up to move day. On the day the crew arrived bang on time and were fantastic all day. Nothing was a problem for them and they were professional, careful and considerate with all of our belongings.  I highly recommend this company to help take the stress out of what could have been a very stressful day.

 Where to start on the accolades to shower over this brilliant company. It's all about the people isn't it? Sarah was our original contact to handle the quotes after we gave a video tour of the property to move from. She has been friendly and flexible the whole time. We moved from a large bungalow to a three floor house, with two teams handling this. The first team of packers were fantastic - fast, hard-working and good-humoured, as well as extremely respectful and careful. The unloading team were similarly focused and took great care with everything they handled. Considering we're moving with a baby too, this was as important as anybody's move. The after service has been perfect too - boxes and paper collected so we didn't have to get rid of it ourselves.

I'm entirely satisfied and very impressed. Thanks everyone involved.

 From start to finish they were very helpful and professional. On the day of the move, the guys on the lorry were efficient and conscientious. When off loading, there was a delay due to the solicitors but again Reads were patient and understanding.  I would highly recommend this company

 This was complicated 4 location move and executed faultlessly by Shaun and Michael - guys, many, many thanks, I still don't understand how you worked the volumes and got it all in that little truck!  Kudos and many thanks.
