Good for you! You’re on your way to your new, exciting life!

While everyone’s journey is unique, most people start research and planning 1-2 years out, then need a whole different set of knowledge and skills for 1-2 years more after arrival.

Most members join in the exploring/consideration or research & planning stage.

If you've already started your move, ExpaCity is excellent value because it gives you access to 100% reliable, accurate, current information -- from vetted professionals -- on everything you need to know before you arrive. 

ExpaCity's content is designed to help you understand the whole context beyond a checklist or bullet-point article. It enables you to confirm you’re on the right path, fill knowledge gaps, and learn the why -- not just the what. You'll develop a rich, deep understanding of a complete process like “Buying a Home,” with each aspect explained by different professionals (agent, mortgage broker, lawyer, property inspector, etc.) from their unique perspectives so you get the complete picture and can make better-informed decisions along the way.

There’s a lot of free information online. That’s one reason I started ExpaCity; there’s almost too much information. And it can be dated or inaccurate because those who write it are often hired third parties without first-hand knowledge of what’s current, accurate, and true.

Writers are great writers, but they are not professional experts on the nuances of a new immigration requirement or the questions asked daily about international taxes or the driving license exchange process. Free content is often not thorough and only outlines the most common approach. When something changes, a writer has to be found.  

ExpaCity information comes directly from professionals in the field who must know it and stay current — because it’s their job. They help people with the same things you want and need -- every day. ExpaCity members get direct access to this expertise. 

There is real value in ExpaCity live events where all members can ask questions directly to each Expert. Members learn from other members’ questions, too.

You can’t find this in a free article. And you can't easily get professional information on social media -- because the professionals are out in the field, working with clients, versus answering questions on Facebook. 

As the founder of ExpaCity, I find, select, and vet each Expert in our curated network to ensure they meet our standard of expertise, soft skills, and service and ensure they are a legally registered business or a credentialed professional. I hired many of them during my over 20 years in Portugal. I work with many of them still today. Some come highly recommended by the Experts as professionals they know and trust, too. 

Not just anyone can be an ExpaCity Expert. No one can buy their way into our Directory with ads. They can't advertise during their webinars. ExpaCity Experts generously dedicate their time to help you get the reliable, accurate information you need to make your move easier. 

We make it easy for you and put you in control.

Each Expert has been carefully and thoughtfully vetted. It is a curated group of professionals who want to help ExpaCity members get accurate  information and learn the why as well as the what. They give success tips, and watch-outs, suggest questions you should ask before hiring someone, and even offer cost ranges to help set expectations.

We ask them for just three things: their wisdom, their complete honesty (no sugar-coating), and to be themselves. 

In other words, this is an exceptional group. We help them share the information they believe every new resident should know -- that they wish they had time to share with everyone. We protect their access and time so they can focus on doing what they do well - helping new foreign resident clients.
