Moving to and from the USA - Your moving company: Geuer

For many Germans willing to emigrate, the U.S. offers the opportunity for a career change or even a new start. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a job in research and science, as an academic or as a skilled worker. Moving permanently from Germany to the USA involves a lot of planning and preparation. Many emigrants choose the cosmopolitan city of New York City, located on the east coast of the United States, or the capital Washington. Whichever of the 50 states of the USA you favor as a country of immigration, Geuer is always at your side with advice and support.

Our moving service - your moving company

Talk to our overseas moving specialists and hire our freight forwarding company to take care of all the necessary formalities for a stress-free move to the USA. Without professional help, chaos is inevitable, because the checklist of all the things that need to be done is long. The first hurdle to be cleared is obtaining the visa. For this purpose, the U.S. government annually draws a contingent of the so-called green card, which entitles the holder to work and live there permanently, in a lottery whose participation must be applied for. The winners are looked after by the responsible consulting agency “The American Dream” until they enter the country. The process continues with

  • the scheduling of the move,
  • termination of contracts
  • informing the authorities, insurances and health insurance,
  • forwarding service of the German Post,
  • checking the passport
  • up to the transport of the own vehicle
  • or organizing the move with pets.


Especially a transport overseas can quickly become unmanageable for the layman. Even just shipping the entire household goods and furniture or transporting them by air freight should be placed in the hands of an experienced moving company. It is necessary to decide whether the transport should be by air or water, of course in safe containers and with the necessary insurance coverage. Important: A valid residence permit must be presented to customs so that the removal goods can also be imported. If a pet is moving with you, a health certificate for the animal is required. Our experts for overseas removals are well acquainted with the modalities of re-registration, customs and entry regulations.
