Before you plan a move, do your research well. Milan is a thriving community, but you should research if you can handle the climate, culture and cost of living while you stay in Milan.

By researching these facts, you can imagine how it would be if you actually stayed in Milan. You should also make sure that you have a clear purpose for going to Milan. If you want to work there, look for a company that would accept you to work for their company first. If you plan to study there, look for a school that would admit you as a student.

Learn basic conversational phrases, and try to build your vocabulary. When you get to Milan, you have the chance to practice by speaking directly to locals.
Once you have a final decision to move to Milan, start preparing for the move itself. Make sure you process all your necessary documents. Process as early as possible. Your visa can take three months to process so leave at least a good amount of time to get your documents in order. Once you have taken care of your documents, move to the taking care of stuff you will be bringing as you move to Milan.

If you plan on making the stay permanent, you would require a lot of stuff to be moved. You should look for a reliable shipping company that can offer you packing and shipping services. Find a good one, so that your things gets to the destination in one piece. If you plan on making the move temporary, leave the things you have with family members, or in rented storage spaces that can be provided by the shipping companies as well.
Once all your affairs are in order, you are now ready to set off and enjoy the beautiful Milan.
