Relocation to Egypt
Your reliable partner for Relocation to Egypt. Koch Umzugslogistik – for 125 years.
Egypt attracts professionals, retirees and digital nomads – with Cairo as a hub and the Red Sea as a magnet for quality of life. Koch Umzugslogistik organises your move to Cairo, Alexandria or Hurghada. Transit time by sea freight to Alexandria or Port Said is 3–5 weeks. With IAM partners on site, we coordinate customs clearance and delivery.
Customs clearance in Egypt can be complex: you need a passport with a valid visa, a detailed inventory list (ideally translated into Arabic) and, where applicable, a letter from your employer. Our team led by Christian Braunschweig coordinates with Egyptian customs and our IAM partners in Cairo. Electronic devices and certain medications are subject to special rules – we clarify this in advance.
