Frequently Asked Questions

What services are included in a corporate relocation package?+

A corporate relocation package from 6thMove typically includes pre-arrival planning, immigration and visa coordination, temporary accommodation, home search, school search, area orientation, settling-in services, tenancy management and departure support. Each package is customised to the organisation's policy and the assignee's specific requirements, ensuring a comprehensive end-to-end relocation experience.

How long does a typical corporate relocation take?+

The timeline depends on the complexity of the move, visa processing times and the assignee's specific requirements. A standard relocation to the UAE or Saudi Arabia typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from assignment confirmation to arrival and settling-in. Immigration processing may add additional time depending on the visa category and jurisdiction.

What is the difference between corporate relocation and employee relocation?+

Corporate relocation refers to the programme and policy framework managed by an organisation to support employee moves, including policy design, budget management and duty of care compliance. Employee relocation refers to the individual support provided to the assignee and their family. 6thMove manages both — designing corporate programmes and delivering employee-level support across every assignment.
