Expat Scouting Trips

Little girl and her dad visiting a new country

Our newest offering from Expatsi are scouting trips to visit countries you’d like to consider. Visiting a country to see if you’d like to live there has little to do with vacationing there. You’ll want to stay in neighborhoods where you might live and do the sort of day-to-day things you’d do if you lived there.

I love to cook and try new foods, and Brett loves to read and go to the movies. So while we don’t miss out on the beach, a museum, or other opportunities for entertainment and relaxation, our first stops are grocery stores, cinemas, and libraries. We book Airbnbs in neighborhoods we’d like to consider, and we try to fit in as many neighborhoods as we can on a trip. We drive ourselves around, because that’s our preferred mode of transport.

As a follow-up to our immigration consultation service, we recently added scouting trips for a project rate. Your trip can be as scheduled or as fluid as you like, and will incorporate all the elements that you’ll need to choose where to move, whether they involve trying out café life, joining in outdoor activities, visiting schools and places of worship, attending meetups, and more. For more info, contact Jen at jen@expatsi.com, or schedule a consultation.

Best Countries for Expats with Chronic Illness or Medical Needs

Most lists of the countries with best healthcare for expats are written for someone who is healthy. They rank hospitals, quote an index, and move on. For chronically ill expats, the question is not which country has good hospitals. It is whether they can get in, get covered, and keep treatment going. Those are three separate gates, and they fail in sequence. Some countries can legally refuse you residency over your diagnosis.
