Community
r/expats
A long-running community of people living, working, and retiring outside their home country. Threads cover visas, healthcare, schooling, banking, and the practical realities of relocating internationally. A useful sanity check on country guides and golden-visa marketing, with first-hand accounts from current and former residents.
r/ExpatFinance
Focused on the money side of living abroad: cross-border tax, FATCA and CRS reporting, brokerage access, retirement accounts, and currency transfers. Discussions often dig into the specific obligations of US, UK, EU, and Australian citizens overseas. A good starting point before speaking to a cross-border accountant or financial adviser.
