Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How was this guide created?
We created this guide through extensive research across government resources, residency programs, healthcare systems, tax regulations, and relocation requirements relevant to Americans living abroad. Absolutely no AI was used in the creation of this project to ensure accurate results.
Why was this made?
We created this guide for ourselves at first. As Americans researching international relocation opportunities, we found it difficult to find clear, centralized information about living abroad. We decided to make it ourselves and share that information with our fellow Americans looking to move.
Is this truly an all in one guide?
Yes. We have poured hundreds of hours into crafting and refining this document into a truly all-encompassing E-Guide. From questions on obtaining a driver's license, to retirement qualifications, or even paid time off for having children, we have compiled all of it here.
Will this be updated over time?
Yes! We are constantly conducting research across all nations outlined in the E-Guide, across all outlined categories to ensure that each and every one of them is up to date. The data is sourced and cited to provide the most factual data now and the years to come, as this will be a multi-year project.
