FAQs
What documents do I need to move from Australia to Europe?
Documentation varies by country and visa type. At the very least, you’ll need a valid passport, visa or residence permit, and a detailed inventory list. We’ll help prepare your paperwork and provide guidance based on your destination’s requirements.
How long does shipping take?
Transit times generally range from 6 to 10 weeks, depending on your origin and European destination. We’ll confirm your estimated timeline during planning and keep you informed at every stage. If you need small belongings to arrive sooner, we can arrange air freight from Australia to Europe.
What items are prohibited when moving to Europe?
Most European countries restrict the import of food, plants, weapons, and some electronics. Some high-value items like vehicles may attract VAT (value-added tax) depending on the nature and length of your stay. We’ll provide a detailed list and guide you through any documentation or declarations required.
Do I need transit insurance?
Yes. Transit insurance protects you against damage or loss outside of our control, such as weather delays or handling incidents. Our team can recommend the right policy based on your inventory and risk profile. Please refer to the insurance product disclosure statement for more information about transit insurance.
Is KEYS an AFRA member?
Yes. KEYS The Moving Solution is a long-standing AFRA member (Australian Furniture Removers Association), as well as an accredited member of FIDI (Federation Internationale Des Demenageurs Internationaux) and the only WA-owned moving company in the Harmony Relocation Network. These internationally recognised accreditations mean KEYS provides unparalleled service and protection.
What if I’m not ready to move some items from Australia to Europe?
No problem. We offer secure storage in Perth or Kalgoorlie until you’re ready. We can ship your belongings on your schedule, meaning you don’t need to return to Australia to collect them. Depending on your destination and travel plans, we may also be able to coordinate local storage, split deliveries, or staggered shipping through our partners on the ground in Europe.
