Where he's going sets the clock.
Every country has its own rules, and the rules decide how early you start. Here's every route we publish, from the quickest to the longest, each with its timeline stop by stop.

Our band for other countries is 2 months or more, and we check that country's own rules before anything is booked, so tell us where you're going.
Moving between two other countries?
London to Singapore, Dubai to Toronto, Paris to Sydney. A move that never touches India still has a vet file at one end and a border at the other, and we run it with our GEM Pet Network partners in both places. You get one team to write to, and the people on the ground are members the network has vetted.
There's no band we publish for these, because the clock is the new country's import rules. Tell us both places and your dates, and we'll come back with the real timeline.
