Our mission
Making expatriation simple, safe and transparent.
Expatia was born from a simple observation: preparing to move abroad remains a journey scattered with fragmented, contradictory or outdated information. We wanted to create the go-to reference for comparing visas, taxation, cost of living and real estate, country by country.
Our story
A platform designed by and for expats
The Expatia team brings together people who have themselves gone through the process of settling abroad: visa applications, opening a bank account, cross-border tax filing, house hunting. Faced with the difficulty of finding reliable, up-to-date information, we decided to build the tool we wished we’d had.
Since then, Expatia has built a network of lawyers, tax specialists and local correspondents to cross-check every published figure against official sources: embassies, immigration ministries and specialised law firms.
