ABOUT US

Securing Your New Life Abroad®

 

A MOVEMENT OF GLOBAL EXPATS

We are a movement intended to not only provide information, solutions, and ideas for would-be expats, but to bring people together who share the same values and ideas to network, socialise, and grow together.

This community is for people who want to make connections with those who are into living a more international life. Whether that be expat living, digital nomadism, flag theory, or you just love travel, this is an excellent opportunity for you to learn and be inspired.

THIS IS EXPAT MONEY®

Founded in 2017, Expat Money® is a private consulting firm and offshore service provider with a global community built for people who want more freedom, more options, and a real Plan-B.

We help entrepreneurs, investors, and internationally-minded families legally diversify across borders so they can protect their wealth, lower friction in life, and create long-term stability outside a single country’s rules.

This isn’t theory. We focus on practical, legal, real-world strategies that have been tested through years of international living, investing, and building relationships with trusted professionals on the ground.

 

What We Do

Expat Money® helps clients and members with:

  • Second Residency & Citizenship options and step-by-step planning
  • Tax & Wealth Protection strategies (legal, compliant, built for real life)
  • Offshore Investing and asset diversification (real estate and tangible assets)
  • Relocation strategy (where to go, why, and how to build a resilient life abroad)
  • Offshore Service fulfillment: to directly walk you through setting up international bank accounts or foreign residency
  • On-the-ground experiences and events that connect you with people, places, and opportunities

Whether you’re moving abroad soon or simply building optionality, we help you choose the right path and avoid costly mistakes.

"It’s a very conscious choice to go with Expat Money. This was the one that really gave confidence in their output online, the way they draw you in. I know it’s good quality, and my feeling is I can trust these guys."

"It was definitely worth it. The cost and process of going through immigration would have been really difficult on our own, but with great support from Expat Money, it was possible, easy, and even fun."
