Moving abroad is one of life's great adventures—and one of its most complex undertakings. These guides exist because most relocation resources weren't written with Americans in mind. They skip the tax implications. They ignore the unique visa situations. They assume you already understand how things work overseas.
Each of our 22 guides follows a structured 90-day framework, taking you from initial decision through full integration into your new home. We cover everything: visa requirements, FBAR and FATCA obligations, healthcare systems, banking, housing, neighborhoods, cost of living, and the cultural adaptation that makes the difference between surviving abroad and thriving there.
"Finally, a guide that actually addresses US tax obligations. The FBAR and FATCA sections alone saved me from making expensive mistakes."
"The neighborhood breakdowns were incredibly helpful. I knew exactly which areas to look at before I even landed in Medellín."
"The 90-day timeline kept me organized and on track. I felt prepared at every stage of the move."
