Beyond one country: cross-border life, anywhere.
The same major decisions follow Americans wherever they go. US Expat starts with Portugal and Spain and is expanding to support U.S. citizens across more destinations.
What stays the same wherever you move
Countries differ, but the framework U.S. citizens need is remarkably consistent.
- U.S. tax and reporting obligations generally follow your citizenship, not your address.
- Every destination has its own immigration, tax, and healthcare systems to learn.
- Banking, currency, and investment access need review in any country.
- Coordinating U.S. and local professionals is essential everywhere.
- A clear checklist and timeline reduce stress in every move.

Common questions.
Which countries does US Expat cover?
We start with Portugal and Spain and are expanding country by country. Several destinations are in development; you can join an update list for the ones you care about.
Can you help if I'm moving somewhere else?
Often, yes. The cross-border framework — U.S. tax that follows citizenship, local residency and tax systems, banking, currency, and professional coordination — applies in any country, even where a dedicated hub is still being built.
