The way you will go about handling your move primarily depends on the purpose and length of your stay. If you are moving to the Maldives to work at one of the country's island resorts, you will probably not be able to take a lot of things with you. Plus, a lot of amenities and personal care items (like a hairdryer, for instance) will be provided by the hotel.
In this case, you can either bring your belongings with you in your luggage or send them over by post. EMS is available in the Maldives ' but make to check the cost of shipping to the Maldives from your country as well as how long this would take.
Good to know:
Note that there are a few things you are not recommended to bring into the country: primarily this affects alcohol and religious material (books, items of worship, etc.).
If you have decided to relocate and will be living on your own, you may want to take more things with you. In this case, you might want to hire a removal company. This is an important step that might require a bit of research. Generally, you will start by choosing a relocation counsellor and setting up an appointment to make an in-house estimate. When evaluating your estimate for the service, the company will take into account several things: origin and destination address, the weight and volume of the transported objects, the type of transportation chosen (air, sea, land, etc.), the specifics of services, etc.
In most cases, the removal company will deliver your belongings right to the destination address ' but you will need to make sure that this is the case in your specific situation. Some removal companies may practice unloading your belongings at a warehouse ' this will involve additional costs as you will need to arrange further transportation on your own.
