How can I organise my move to Saudi Arabia from Spain?
The first step to organise a move to Saudi Arabia from Spain is to get a quote. Wisse Moving can prepare a proposal free of charge. The fastest and easiest way to get a quote for your move to KSA is to do a videocall with one of our consultants. In this way we can estimate the volume and comment the options. We will take into account you date preferences, the type of packaging required, the access situations to the residences, and all other relevant details. With a good preparation we will make sure that your move to Saudi Arabia will be a total success!

Transport options for moving to Saudi Arabia from Spain
- For smaller shipments of boxes without furniture or only smaller pieces of furniture, we would normally do a groupage shipment in a part-load sea container. After we pack the boxes, we would crate them into “liftvans”. These liftvans are very resistant multi-layer cardboard boxes, especially designed for part-load sea shipments. The liftvan would be loaded into a groupage container together with other goods. Normally there are weekly shipping options.
- For larger shipments we could use a sea container only for your move. We would wrap and pack everything perfectly. Normally the goods would go palletised or in liftvans in the container. The most important part is that everything arrives in perfect conditions at its destination.
- For shipments of small amounts of personal items, with urgency to arrive as soon as possible, we might consider airfreight as well.
Customs clearance in Saudi Arabia
Once your move arrives to the port of entry in Saudi Arabia, it will have to be customs clearance. Before transporting the goods from Spain we will make sure that you have all the necessary documentation, so we can avoid unnecessary delays and costs. As a general rule, you would have to have an “iqama”, a residence permit, in order to be able to move to Saudi Arabia. Depending on your particular situation we will assist you.

It is very important not to include the following in your move:
- All games of chance (gambling paraphernalia) including chess sets, dice, backgammon and the likes
