Let Others Know You're Relocating
Many people need to know that you're relocating and moving to Nepal. Moving2Nepal.com has prepared the following list of people and places to be contacted before moving to Nepal:
Execute a Power of Attorney
To designate a person who will act on your behalf, execute a Power of Attorney before moving to Nepal. Provide this person with a key to your safe deposit box in which you have left an up-to-date will, insurance policies, appointment of your children's legal guardian (should the need arise), and copies of the legal documents you are taking with you. These documents might include birth and marriage certificates, divorce decrees, bank drafts, letters of credit, tax documents and Social Security records.
Finances at Origin and Destination
Take these steps for a smooth transition of your financial affairs:
- Before departure, discuss your upcoming relocation with all banks or finance companies with which you are doing business, such as the holder of your car title. A lender's permission often is required when moving unpaid items out of the country.
- Similarly, before moving to Nepal, open a bank account at a local branch of an international bank. By using a bank with offices at your origin and destination, check-cashing privileges may be more readily obtained and emergency funds -- should the need arise -- would be more easily accessible.
Insurance Agent's Letter of Recommendation
To help obtain automobile and homeowner's insurance coverage in a foreign country, if your current policies will not be valid at destination, you need to take out new policies. Before moving to Nepal, secure a Letter of Recommendation from your current insurance agent to help obtain the new policies. The Letter of Recommendation should state you have a good driving record and give the specific dates you had coverage with that insurance company.
Travel Agent Saves Your Time
Unless your employer is handling your travel arrangements, use your travel agent to save you time and trouble when moving to Nepal. The travel agent does not charge you for service; rather, the agent receives a commission from the airline/ocean carrier you use.
Change Your Address Using Post Office Services
Change your address using the United States Postal Service website here.
This easy, quick and secure process lets you complete all of your address changes directly with the U.S. Postal Service in only a few steps including moving your magazines by changing your address on your magazine subscriptions. Keep in mind that some magazines, books and records sent through the mail might be prohibited in foreign countries. Call 1-888-835-2124 for immediate service. In addition, the USPS Moving Services update your email address to let you stay connected at your new email by alerting friends, family and businesses of your new email address.
Internal Revenue System (IRS)
If you are expecting a tax refund, notify the appropriate revenue department that your address is changing.
Doctor/Dentist Colleagues at Destination
Advise your current physician and dentist that you will be moving to Nepal, and ask for recommendations for counterparts. If they cannot supply references, a consulate or embassy of Nepal, or The International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (IAMAT) should be able to help you. Get your personal membership card and package of IAMAT publications, including the Directory of IAMAT Physicians that guides you to participating physicians, specialists, clinics, and hospitals in 125 countries. Telephone numbers are included. Contact IAMAT by email at info@iamat.org or by mail at 417 Center St., Lewiston, NY 14092; (716) 754-4883.
Duty-Free Personal Accessories
Shipping personal items such as clothing, furs and jewelry is usually duty-free as long as these items are for the owner's use and not for resale. Check restrictions of your destination country with a consulate or embassy before shipping your possessions. Moving2Nepal.com suggests that jewelry and furs be shipped via airfreight or carried with you in your personal luggage to prevent theft.
Houseplants and Seeds May Be Prohibited
Many countries prohibit the entry of plants and bulbs. If seeds are allowed, find out if a special permit is necessary, and carry the seeds with you. Bulbs, seeds and houseplants cannot be packed as part of your household goods shipment.
