ExpatBird Premium

Moving abroad is a major decision. A country can look perfect on vacation and feel completely different when you actually live there.

ExpatBird Premium goes beyond travel guides and basic country profiles to focus on the practical information that matters when choosing where to live, retire or spend part of the year.

Go Beyond the Basics

Free ExpatBird country pages give you a quick overview of each destination.

Premium takes the next step.

Explore the details that can determine whether a country — and a particular city — actually fits your lifestyle, priorities and budget.

Detailed Cost of Living

Go beyond national averages with practical information about everyday expenses.

Explore housing, groceries, utilities, transportation and other costs that can affect your real monthly budget.

Healthcare

Understand how healthcare works before you move.

Premium country reports examine public and private healthcare, access to hospitals and specialists, insurance considerations and the availability of medical services in popular expat locations.

Safety

National crime statistics don’t tell the whole story.

Premium looks more closely at the types of safety issues expats may encounter and why choosing the right city and neighborhood can make such a significant difference.

Housing

Explore what to consider when renting or buying abroad, including typical housing options, location differences and practical issues foreign residents should understand before choosing a home.

Infrastructure & Utilities

Reliable electricity, drinking water, internet and mobile service can have an enormous effect on everyday life.

Premium looks beyond the tourist experience to examine the infrastructure you will actually depend on when living abroad.

Visas & Residency

Understand the major visa and residency pathways available to foreign residents and retirees, including important requirements and considerations when planning a long-term move.

Detailed City Comparisons

Choosing a country is only the beginning.

Compare popular cities and expat destinations within each country based on factors such as lifestyle, climate, healthcare access, infrastructure, cost and population density.

A country that doesn’t seem right at first may contain a city that fits you perfectly — and the reverse can also be true.

Pros & Cons

Every destination involves trade-offs.

Premium reports bring the major advantages and disadvantages together so you can quickly understand where a destination excels and where compromises may be necessary.

Currency & Exchange Rates

See local currencies in terms that are easier to understand, including exchange-rate information for major currencies such as the U.S. dollar and euro.

Exchange rates change, so current information can be especially important when estimating an overseas budget.

Compare Countries

Trying to decide between two or more destinations?

Premium is designed to make it easier to compare countries using the same practical criteria instead of jumping between unrelated travel guides and statistics.

Compare the things that actually affect everyday life:

Cost of Living • Healthcare • Safety • Housing • Infrastructure • Climate • Residency • Population Density • Cities

Built for People Who Are Actually Considering the Move

ExpatBird isn’t about finding the cheapest country or declaring one destination the “best.”

It’s about helping you answer a much more useful question:

Where can I build the life I actually want?

Whether you’re planning retirement, considering relocation or simply exploring your options, ExpatBird Premium gives you deeper information to help narrow the possibilities before making an expensive move.
