About Expat Unlocked

Who it's for

Expat Unlocked is written for people planning a move abroad: retirees, remote workers and families working out visas, costs, banking and healthcare in a new country. Every guide tries to answer the question you actually have, with the numbers, steps and caveats you need to make a decision.

How guides are made

Each guide starts from primary sources: official government and immigration pages, operators' own sites, manufacturer specifications and published price lists. Guides are written with the help of AI writing tools and checked against those sources before they're published.

We don't invent first-hand experiences. When a guide gives a price, a rule or a timeline, it comes from a source, and where figures vary or change often we say so and give a range.

Keeping things accurate

Rules, prices and opening times change. If you spot something out of date or wrong, email [email protected] and we'll check it and update the guide.

How the site is funded

Some links on Expat Unlocked are affiliate links: if you book or buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. That never decides what we recommend. The details are on our affiliate disclosure page.

Video guides

Many guides also have a video walkthrough on our YouTube channel, @ExpatUnlocked.
