Moving On

Every expat chapter has a next step, whether that's a new home across the island or a new country altogether. This section helps you move on smoothly, with practical checklists and a little perspective for the big transitions.

Here you'll find:

• Moving house within Singapore: ending a lease, getting your deposit back, choosing movers and handing over your home
• A repatriation checklist for leaving Singapore, from cancelling passes to closing utilities and accounts
• Tips on shipping your belongings and relocating pets
• Cancelling your helper's work permit, covered in our Helper Employers guide
• Ideas for saying goodbye to friends and the city you've called home

However far you go, the friendships stay. Join ExpatLah and stay connected to your Singapore community.
