Relocation, handled with care

Your new life abroad, handled.

Vivere walks beside families and individuals as they move countries — visas, a home, schools, the everyday admin — so the only thing left to feel is the excitement of arriving.

A small, human team. We take on a limited number of relocations each season so every family has our full attention.

Why Vivere

Moving abroad is a big feeling. We make it a manageable one.

“We didn't want a checklist. We wanted someone who had done this before, on our side.”

A move across borders is rarely just paperwork. It's a school your child will remember, a neighbourhood you'll learn by heart, a first morning coffee in a language you're still finding your feet in.

We've helped people land softly in dozens of countries. We know which queue to join, which form actually matters, and how to turn an intimidating arrival into a quiet, confident first week.

Finding home

A place to come back to.

Home first — the rest follows.

We line up viewings that fit your budget and your life — near the right school, the right station, the neighbourhood that will feel like yours.

We read the lease so you don't have to, handle the deposit and the agency back-and-forth, and stand with you on signing day.

What we handle

Everything between the decision and the doorstep.

Pick what you need. Most families ask us to carry all of it — and we're glad to.

01

Visas & residence permits

We assess your route, prepare the file, book the appointments and track every deadline through to the card in your hand.

Immigration
02

Finding your home

Shortlists matched to your budget and life, accompanied viewings, lease review and a fair deposit — keys, not stress.

Housing
03

School & nursery places

We map the right schools, manage enrolment paperwork and ease your children into their first term.

Family
04

Banking & healthcare setup

A local bank account, social-security registration and a doctor near home — the everyday roots that make a place liveable.

The moving day itself

Trusted movers, customs paperwork and a calm hand on arrival, so day one abroad feels like a beginning, not a scramble.

The arrival

The day you land should feel like the easy part.

Met, not lost.

Someone who knows the city meets the chaos for you — the SIM card, the keys, the first grocery run, the where-do-I-even-begin.

By the end of week one, you have a home, a bank card, a school start date and a person to call. That's the whole point.

How it feels

Less a process, more a steady hand.

Three chapters, at your pace — never rushed, never alone.

Before you go

We listen first

A long, unhurried conversation about your family, your work, your hopes — then a clear, honest plan with real timelines.

The move

We carry the weight

Visas, home, school, movers — coordinated quietly in the background while you say your goodbyes and pack the kettle.

After you land

We stay a while

We don't vanish at the airport. For your first months we're on hand for the small, real questions that make a place home.

We arrived in a city where we knew no one and didn't speak the language. By the second week it already felt like somewhere we lived — not somewhere we'd landed.
