Our top MoveCube® packing tips when moving abroad
Packing your household items well before shipping helps ensure everything arrives unscathed. We recommend hiring professional packers to ease some stress and save time. Otherwise, pack slowly and follow our 4 top tips below. For even more detailed packing advice, check out How to load a MoveCube® and How to pack our boxes.
Be ruthless!:
Thoroughly declutter your home by getting rid of items you'll no longer need. For example, is there much use for a hot water bottle in Brunei? Remember, the less you ship, the cheaper it will be.
eBay and Facebook Marketplace are excellent resources for making extra money to help fund your move. Take the rest to your local high street charity shops or recycling centres.
Be careful with delicate things:
Secure the bottom of your shipping box with several layers of overlapping parcel tape. Repeat at the top once full. Use bubble wrap on all items and two layers for fragile items. Put heavy goods along the bottom and lighter things above.
Create space by disassembling your furniture. Then, wrap and cover everything with protective materials to stop them from rubbing together during transit.
Purchase parking tickets for our vehicle:
Our driver must be able to park at least twenty metres from the entrance to your home. For a successful MoveCube® loading day, buy any necessary tickets or permits in advance.
It is up to you to load the MoveCube®. Lighten the load by asking friends and family for help. You can borrow a trolley to transfer containers. Our driver can offer advice but must keep the vehicle within eyesight.
Load the MoveCube® from the bottom:
Before loading day, use the Starter Pack's floor sheets to help assess what fits inside a MoveCube®. Build from the bottom up with furniture and heavy goods first, then lighter containers on top.
Fill gaps with containers. Avoid using loose items, as they could break and cause damage to the rest of your removals shipment.
I had a great experience using Seven Seas Worldwide shipping services. You can always get immediate help from their customer service hotline in different languages, which is extremely appreciated. The instructions and billing are clear, and you can monitor where your removals shipment is. Highly recommended.

Moving to Brunei: an essential guide
The culture in Brunei is rooted in Islam, respect, hospitality and community. Such traditional values blend with forward-thinking aspirations and a high standard of living. If you want to settle in a respectful environment full of modern amenities, you may have found your dream home. But before rushing to the airport, check out our essential facts to help with moving overseas:
Types of visas: you can apply for a working visa at the Brunei embassy in your home country. To qualify for a permanent residence visa, you must have lived in the country for at least ten years. Visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brunei for further details.
Job opportunities: Brunei offers plentiful employment opportunities, thanks in part to its oil reserves. English is widely spoken, especially in the international business community. Popular industries for expats include teaching, healthcare and IT.
Healthcare: Brunei has a mix of public and private medical options. Healthcare is free for all citizens; however, expats moving to the country often opt for private healthcare due to its efficiency and for some peace of mind.
Education: pre-school, primary and secondary school are compulsory and last twelve years. Only primary school is mandatory for those attending Islamic religious schools and lasts seven years. High-ranking institutions of further education include Universiti Brunei Darussalam and Institut Teknologi Brunei.
Lifestyle: Brunei citizens lead a peaceful and leisurely life, with strong family values and a focus on community. Popular activities include visiting mosques, boating, golf, attending religious festivals and watching movies.
Removals checklist for international moves
Even though our removals services make shipping personal effects abroad easy, use our handy checklist to prepare for the big move itself:
- Gather your paperwork: keep all important documents, such as ID, marriage certificates, and wage slips, handy for easy access.
- Apply for a visa: research the most appropriate Brunei visa for your needs, then submit your application and await approval.
- Arrange accommodation: sell or rent your current residence, then either buy or rent in Brunei. Renting lets you acclimatise before making a large purchase, such as a new home.
- Book removals services: get a quick free quote on our website, then select a date so we can bring a MoveCube® or MoveCubes® to your door.
- Arrange travel: arrive in Brunei ahead of your removals shipment so you can settle into your new home without feeling rushed.
- Sort your finances: tell your bank you're leaving the country and withdraw some Brunei dollars to cover any last-minute purchases.
- Speak to a doctor: ask for a three-month supply of any current prescriptions. Doing so gives you plenty of time to arrange new healthcare once in Brunei.
- Pet shipping: arrange all required vaccinations at the vets and buy a safe pet carrier. An import permit is required for all dogs, cats, and birds via the Brunei Ministry of Agriculture.
- Have a declutter: only ship what you'll need in Brunei. Perhaps those thick woolly socks can be left behind! The less you take, the cheaper it will be. Sell excess belongings via online auction sites or donate to charity.
- Pack your belongings: pack your removals shipment into sturdy boxes. For a smooth MoveCube® loading day, move all your containers and furniture as close to your building's exit as possible.
- Settle into your new home: your appointed agent will help you clear customs. Then, all that's left to do is take the MoveCube(s)® to your new home to unload, unpack and then dispose of it.
