Check-List for Movers

Review carefully the check-list for movers in our Guide for Going to the U.S. In this check-list, we have compiled some important items to take care of when preparing your departure (e.g. important documents to bring with you, practicalities with Finnish officials, health-related preparations, academic arrangements, housing arrangements, and family-related arrangements if your family is traveling with you).

Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of all items that you need to take care of before your departure but you can use this a template when you start creating your own list. Your own check-list will always depend on your grant program and individual circumstances.
