Asia Relocation Spotlighted by IAM Magazine: Redefining Global Mobility with a Human Touch

We are thrilled to announce that Asia Relocation, a leading provider of human-centric relocation services in Southeast Asia, has been featured in the July/August 2025 edition of IAM Portal Magazine, the official publication of the International Association of Movers (IAM).

This recognition showcases our commitment to delivering personalized relocation solutions across Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines — countries where we’ve built a reputation for combining local expertise with global standards.

Why Human-Centered Mobility Still Matters

In the featured article, “Why the Human Touch Still Matters in a Digital Mobility World,” our CEO Philibert Challan Belval reflects on the emotional and cultural challenges of international mobility. According to the Global Expatriate Survey, 92% of expatriates report difficulties adjusting to new cultures, particularly after repeated moves.

At Asia Relocation, we believe relocation is more than a move — it’s a life transition. Whether it’s a young professional relocating to Vietnam for a career opportunity, a family moving with children and pets to Thailand, or an HR leader managing international assignees in the Philippines, our approach is rooted in empathy, listening, and culturally sensitive guidance.

Personalized Relocation Services Across Southeast Asia

Operating throughout the region, we deliver modular, à la carte relocation packages tailored to each client’s needs:

  • Vietnam:
    From visa assistance and home search in Ho Chi Minh City to international school placement in Hanoi, we help expats settle with confidence.

  • Thailand:
    Our services include pet relocation, domestic moves, and expatriate coaching programs in Bangkok, ideal for both families and individuals.
