For U.S. citizens living and moving abroad

A life in two countries, organized.

US Expat is for U.S. citizens who live abroad or plan to. We explain the tax, visa, money and insurance questions that follow you across a border, country by country, and introduce professionals when a decision needs one.

How it works

Three steps, in the order most people take them.

1

Read your destination’s hub

Each country hub sets out immigration, tax, money, healthcare and settling in around the questions Americans ask most.

2

Get a guide or answer five questions

Download the guide for your destination, or use Start Here and we point you to the resources that fit.

3

Talk to the right professional

When a decision needs regulated expertise, we introduce a qualified professional rather than leave you to guess.

Bennett Linsky

Co-Founder

Bennett co-founded US Expat to give Americans abroad one clear picture instead of scattered forums and guesswork — and, with Adrian, leads its financial-planning, retirement, U.S.-account, and insurance-education content. Regulated advisory services are provided separately through the appropriate advisory relationship.

Your next step

Start with five questions.

The questionnaire takes about a minute and points you to the guides and hubs that fit. There is no cost to get oriented.
