Moving to Shanghai
Relocation services in Shanghai
A Shanghai relocation needs to distinguish the actual workplace from a broad city label. Work in Pudong and a role elsewhere in the city can call for different housing and commute choices. Gullie coordinates the agreed housing, immigration support, moving logistics, and settling-in work around your employer’s scope and household circumstances.
Plan your move to ShanghaiWhat to include in your Shanghai brief
- Exact workplace district and route
- Support for property communication
- Furnishings and building delivery process
Planning life in Shanghai
Compare candidate addresses with the office through current local transport information. Shanghai’s municipal English-language resources provide a starting point for understanding the metro and other travel options. Include transfers and the final walk, and assess any other regular household journey alongside the office route.
Discuss the support needed for property conversations, appointments, and local setup early. Clarify furnishing and building delivery access before deciding what to ship. A temporary first stay can separate arrival from the commitment to a longer-term home.
What your relocation plan includes
For Shanghai, the move brief should identify the workplace district, household arrivals, communication needs, and services already arranged by the employer. Gullie can coordinate the remaining agreed work and connect the home search with the shipment schedule. Immigration and documentation requirements should be confirmed with the relevant specialist for the actual case.
We begin by agreeing the scope: who is moving, the origin, your intended arrival, and the budget or employer policy. Your preferences and any existing arrangements shape the plan. You should know which services are included, which decisions need your approval, and where a specialist or external provider is involved.
Housing support starts with a brief and a discussion of suitable options. Immigration support, where needed, is coordinated with the appropriate professionals. Moving and shipping arrangements depend on the belongings involved and the route. Family and settling-in support can be included in the agreed scope.
The Gullie platform gives the move a shared place for its details, documents, and timeline. As decisions are made, the team coordinates the agreed next steps. Before work begins, request a written scope and a breakdown of the expected service and provider costs.

Questions about moving to Shanghai
Should a Pudong workplace change my Shanghai housing search?
Use its exact address to compare the whole journey from each property, including any crossing, transfer, and final walk. The search should follow the workplace and household routine rather than a general preference for one part of Shanghai.
What information does Gullie need for a move to Shanghai?
Share your origin, intended arrival, household details, and employer policy. For Shanghai, the brief should cover: exact workplace district and route; support for property communication; furnishings and building delivery process. The team can then confirm the services and availability for your move.
How do I estimate the cost of relocating to Shanghai?
Use the relocation cost estimator to explore the route and services, then request current quotes for the actual scope. Separate coordination fees, housing, transport, shipping, and any specialist work. The selected home and the period in temporary accommodation can change the total.
