Chinese New Year and Relocation Service Impact
As the Year of the Rabbit comes to an end, communities around the world are looking forward to a year of prosperity and good luck as the Dragon takes its reign in the Chinese zodiac. This Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) begins February 10th, 2024 and concludes January 28th, 2025 will be celebrated as the Year of the Wood Dragon.
The Chinese zodiac is a system that assigns an animal to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle. The Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig, each has its unique characteristics, symbolism, and cultural significance.
Lunar New Year celebrations, including traditional lion dances, stunning parades, and family reunions with elaborate decorations and magnificent feasts, last up to 16 days. While NEI’s Singapore office will only be closed February 9th and February 12th, it’s possible you may experience other disruptions or delays in service as many of our service partner offices in mainland China and in other countries that celebrate the holiday—such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Brunei—will be closed for the full extent of the public holiday from February 10th through February 16th.
