Moving countries is a big decision. It can mean a new role, a new city, a new language, and a lot of logistics in between.
For the people featured below, relocating with Uber was not just about changing where they lived. It was about finding the right mix of growth, scale, and quality of life — with support that helped make the move feel manageable.
From Amsterdam to Aarhus, each story is different. But the common thread is clear: when people choose to relocate with Uber, they are stepping into teams, cities, and opportunities that help them build their careers and their lives at the same time.
What made you want to relocate?
Mateus Borges, relocated from Berlin to Aarhus
The team and the work domain sounded interesting. I also had my fill of large cities, like London and Berlin, and wanted to go somewhere a bit quieter.
Sai Sushanth Gubba, relocated from India to Amsterdam
I wanted to be in a place with a lot of future growth, while also experiencing a brand-new culture. I could see the Amsterdam office was growing into a major hub, and I wanted to be right in the middle of that.
Jose Camacho, relocated from Spain to Aarhus
Denmark offered a combination of professional opportunity and quality of life that was hard to ignore. Aarhus felt like the right balance — a smaller, more livable city, but still with the scale and technical challenges I was looking for.
Across EMEA, relocation often starts with a simple question: what kind of place do I want to build my next chapter in? For some, the answer is a fast-growing hub with international energy. For others, it is a calmer city with room to focus, grow, and enjoy life outside of work.
What stood out about the move itself?
Lin Wei, relocated from China to Amsterdam
Amsterdam has been a great place for expats: English is widely used, the city is convenient, and it is quite easy to settle in compared with many other places. Looking back, I’m very grateful for that recommendation and quite happy with the move.
Nishaad Ajani, relocated from Barcelona to Amsterdam
Overall, the relocation and transition to Uber Amsterdam went smoothly. Deloitte did a great job coordinating between the different teams across countries, and the onboarding process itself was well organized and easy to navigate.
Yihua Zhang, relocated from Switzerland to Aarhus
Uber provided access to a local relocation agent who helped with finding an apartment and navigating many of the practical aspects of settling into a new country. That support was extremely valuable and reduced a lot of the stress.
For many employees, the biggest difference was not just the move itself, but the sense that they were not doing it alone. Practical support, clear guidance, and help navigating the details made a major impact.
What helped the most once you arrived?
Sai Sushanth Gubba
Uber took care of everything through a partner company. For the visa application, my residence permit, and even getting the 30% ruling set up, all I had to do was submit my documents and they handled the rest.
Jose Camacho
What stood out most was the level of support from the recruiting and hiring teams. They didn’t disappear once I accepted the offer. They stayed engaged and available right up until my first day, which made the whole transition feel much smoother.
Eduard Duryev, relocated from Berlin to Amsterdam
Uber supported us financially, but also with relocation agents, immigration, registration, and more. The highlight was the Expat Center, where everyone spoke English, was very friendly and helpful, and went the extra mile to solve our problem.
The best relocation experiences are not just efficient. They are reassuring. They help people feel prepared before they move and welcomed when they arrive.
What surprised you most?
Sai Sushanth Gubba
A big surprise was how quickly I felt at home. The office is so international and welcoming.
Yihua Zhang
Before moving to Denmark, I was somewhat concerned about the language barrier, as I do not speak Danish. What surprised me most was how widely English is spoken throughout Denmark.
Iris Vergara, relocated from the US to Amsterdam
Uber made the entire process incredibly smooth. They provided a flexible relocation budget that I could tailor to my unique needs, rather than a rigid set of benefits.
Relocation is rarely just one thing. It is a career decision, a life decision, and often a family decision too. What people remember most is often not the paperwork or the packing. It is how quickly a new city starts to feel possible.
Why Uber?
For these employees, Uber stood out because it offered more than a role. It offered scope, momentum, and a place to do meaningful work while building a life in a new country.
Some were drawn to the scale of the work. Some were looking for a better quality of life. Some wanted international experience. Others were looking for the right moment to make a move that felt both practical and ambitious.
What they found was an experience that combined career growth with real support — and a team environment that helped make the transition feel less like a leap and more like a next step.
Relocation at Uber
At Uber, relocation is not treated like an afterthought. It is part of how we help people join the right team in the right place, with the support they need to get started well.
Because when people can move with confidence, they can focus on what matters most: doing great work, settling in, and building something meaningful in a new home.
