Moving Timeline from Allied Serbia: Your Week-by-Week Plan
Whether you’re relocating from Belgrade to Novi Sad or moving internationally to Serbia, timing makes the difference between a chaotic move and a controlled one. Allied – The Careful Movers Serbia helps individuals, families, and businesses turn relocation into something predictable, structured, and manageable — even across borders.
This timeline breaks the process into weekly steps you can actually follow, whether you’re moving down the street or across the continent. For the bigger picture, see our full moving checklist, or jump to what to expect on moving day itself.
8 Weeks Before Your Move
- Contact your Allied Serbia consultant to set a move date and review what services you’ll need
- Start clearing out garages, attics, and basements — the spaces people leave until the last minute
- Use up perishables and hazardous household items like cleaning fluids and frozen goods
- Research your new area: schools, public services, and healthcare should be early priorities
- If you’re relocating abroad, start on customs documentation now
6 Weeks Before
- Confirm what costs your employer covers, if the move is job-related
- Inventory your belongings and start deciding what to sell or donate — cutting volume now lowers your removals to Serbia costs
- Build your change-of-address list: banks, utilities, healthcare providers, and anyone else who needs your new details
- Arrange the transfer of school, dental, and medical records
4 Weeks Before
- Submit your address change to the Serbian postal service
- Set start and cancellation dates for utilities — electricity, gas, phone, water — at both properties
- If you’re bringing pets, check EU or Serbian import regulations and start arranging transport
- Confirm storage options with Allied for anything that can’t move immediately
3 Weeks Before
- Book any hotels, trains, or flights tied to your move date — especially important for international transfers
- Complete bank transfers and close out any local financial obligations
- Keep legal documents together in one portable folder
2 Weeks Before
- Pay final bills, empty any lockers, return borrowed items, and collect anything of value that’s out on loan
- Visit the vet for pet vaccinations and travel paperwork
- Share your new address and moving schedule with close family or friends
2–3 Days Before
- Defrost and clean the fridge and freezer, leaving doors open to prevent mold
- Disconnect large appliances and make sure they’re ready for transit
- Pack an essentials box — toiletries, snacks, a change of clothes, tools, chargers
Moving Day in Serbia
- Be available to help the Allied team and answer any questions
- Make sure there’s clear access to elevators, parking, and stairwells
