Moving to Turkey

Corporate & Office Relocation to Turkey

Office and business relocation from the UAE to Turkey, planned around your go-live date with one coordinator end to end.

A corporate or office relocation to Turkey runs on different pressures to a family move. There is a lease that starts on a fixed date, equipment that a business cannot operate without, and a chain of approvals that has to line up before anyone can work. Seemleius corporate and office relocation to Turkey is built to hold those deadlines — İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir or the coast — with one coordinator owning the move end to end.

We move office contents, IT and workstations, records and the working setups of relocating staff from across the UAE into Turkish premises, planning the sequence around your go-live date rather than a generic transit estimate.

Planned around your go-live date

An office move is a scheduling problem before it is a packing problem. We build the plan backwards from the date the business needs to be operational: which desks and machines travel first, what can follow by sea, and what has to fly so a team is not idle. Collection from your UAE office, export packing, the sea booking to İstanbul’s Ambarlı terminals or air into İstanbul Airport, customs clearance through our broker, and delivery and reinstatement at the Turkish premises all sit under one coordinator, so a delay in one leg is managed rather than discovered.

What we move for a business

  • Desks, seating, storage and partitioning — dismantled, protected and rebuilt on site
  • IT hardware, servers and workstations — packed against handling and static, logged by asset
  • Files, archives and records — boxed, sequenced and kept confidential in transit
  • Meeting-room, reception and boardroom fit-out
  • The personal setups of relocating employees, coordinated with their household moves

Customs, invoices and asset registers

Business shipments are declared differently to personal effects. Where goods are commercial they travel on HS-coded invoices with the right Turkish import registration; where they are the working effects of a relocating employee they sit under that person’s residence documentation. We keep the two flows clearly separated on the inventory so nothing is mis-declared, and we brief the customs broker in Turkey before departure so the entry is validated, not improvised at the port.

What is included

Sequenced packing

Labelled and phased so the business goes live in the right order.

Asset-logged IT

Hardware inventoried by asset for reconciliation at the far end.

Broker-cleared customs

Commercial and personal flows declared correctly through our licensed broker.

Reinstatement

Furniture rebuilt and workstations placed so staff can sit down and work.

How an office move runs

  1. Survey and plan. We audit the office, agree the go-live date and build the phased sequence for people, IT and furniture.
  2. Pack and label. Crews pack to export standard, log IT by asset and separate commercial from personal on the inventory.
  3. Ship and clear. Sea or air on the booked schedule, with Turkish customs handled by the broker in parallel.
  4. Reinstate. We deliver, rebuild and place so the office is working, not warehoused.

From a single relocating manager to a whole department, the coordination is the same. Request your quote and we will plan the move around your lease date and your team’s start.

How long does a move to Turkey take?

Transit time depends on the freight mode and the volume. Your coordinator gives you a realistic window when quoting — sea freight is slower and more economical, air freight is faster for time-sensitive moves.

Do you handle customs at both ends?

Yes. Export and import documentation is prepared and submitted on your behalf, and clearance is coordinated at both origin and destination.

Is my shipment insured in transit?

Transit insurance is available on every corridor. Your coordinator explains the cover options when quoting so you can choose what suits the shipment.

How far ahead should I book?

Two to four weeks is comfortable for most international moves, but we regularly handle urgent relocations. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility you have on dates and freight space.

Will I have one point of contact?

Always — a dedicated coordinator owns your move from first quote to final delivery, including the customs and freight handovers in between.
