Expat.com Omdömen 

Expat.com is very supportive and helpful platform , where expats moving to any country can find lots of information of that particular country, interact with other expats & gain confidence for their new destination.

Expat is a melting pot where you can get advice and info about the first steps to take when emigrating. You can find essential data with relevant links where you can double-check what's best for each situation.
I'm part of the Expat community and I really appreciate it :)

Useful tool.
Nice to look for tips, answers...
The only bad spot for me is most of people is just using it to ask for information but they dont take the time after to answer to anybody, so in certain chats (countries) is just replying always same people.

Hi! I met the platform of this page 1 year ago, we need to know more about the experience of expatriates, for example, the cost of living in those places, for me they have been useful, about housing and places

I find it a useful social network. To highlight the guides for each country and the news magazine. Also the forum section is very practical to get in touch with people in other countries of the world.

It should improve aspects such as design, accessibility and create an app.

Es muy interesante para conocer personas de tu país y para obtener informaciones importantes que te puedan ayudar.

Hej!

Expat es un lugar donde fácilmente muchos inmigrantes encontramos información que de otra forma habría que dedicar muchas horas mirando muchas webs.

Además poder hablar con otros inmigrantes para preguntar o saber de sus experiencias, te facilita mucho a la hora de tomar la decisión de ir a vivir a otro país.

Yo suelo mirárla cada semana para estar al día y me parece una herramienta digital muy útil y necesaria.

Un saludo desde Suecia

Un foro muy interesante, con temas variados e importantes para los expatriados, donde te puedes nutrir de mucha información a la hora de vivir en el extranjero.

Je suis donc mis dehors sans raison et sans explications. Brrrr. Cela fait froid dans le dos !

As most others have pointed out. The site has been hijacked by a group who are biased, possibly racist or bigoted. They value censorship above free speech and stifle any dissent or people sharing problems or painful experiences. The info provided is mostly incorrect and a quick google to an embassy can quickly identify the rubbish advice. Often times dangerous and illegal. The site has a peculiar and severe flaw. They allow "locals" to join .. who basically outnumber any real expats 15/1 . The locals make strange and dodgy "offers" . The other problem is in some zones they have locals pretending to be expats negating everything the expats say . Lastly there are a few old timers on there that have lost all perspective and can't stand any opinion other than their own and they pressure admins as long standing members to delete everything they don't like. I remember the older my grandma became, the more her stubborness increased and at a certain point you could no longer reason with her. There are a few "gold" members like these enforcing their seniority on the website forums . Often times stuff that is way more useful or coherent from younger members are lost and they keep banging on about their experiences in the 80's.

I was a member of this site for many years, as I have lived in various countries in Europe, the Middle East and America.
However, when they started removing posts critical of issues occurring in the countries I had been staying for years and was warning new prospective retirees about, I cancelled my membership.
They basically draw a false picture of countries with their site sanitizing any criticism of local conditions.

Their excuse (I quote): The comment was not "balanced". So they wanted me to mislead fellow expats. When something is wrong, it is wrong and merits no couching it.

I subscribed to this site to prepare for my retirement to Brasil (correct spelling). The main contributor on this site is dead and so the posts are very much out of date. Whenever site traffic is down, someone at the management asks a provocative sometimes racist question just to stir things up. There is an active pressure not to post anything that goes against the approved responses, censorship is the rule here. I managed just fine retiring here to Brasil but, it was no thanks to this site. I strongly recommend finding your answers to any questions you may have at the US Embassy via their site or email and for the most up to date information the Brasilian website (yes it is in English too). If you follow the information you receive from these trusted sources, you will be fine. As to social questions, people are people everywhere. I must add that I do not post online in any regular fashion only when I feel strongly that my experience will help.

I am extremely disappointed!
I recently found a conversation in which one of the interlocutors attacked in a very rude way and spoke with hatred about two nationalities and accused them of crimes.
The whole conversation was disgusting and insulting to me!
After interfering in the conversation and expressing my opinion, a moderator from the website deleted my comments, but the racist comments of the person who wrote the post remained on the site!
After I sent a request to the moderator, for what reason only my post was deleted, I did not receive a response.
Stay away from this website!

Impossible de démarrer un sujet sur le forum à chaque fois ils bloque mon compte, se site est une grosse blague.

This website could be awesome, however for one particular part (Puerto Rico) it become overrun by local people not the actual expats, and in my personal experience, (not just mine btw), those assess control, de facto preventing objectivity based on expats experiences. Only people who sing the song how everything is wonderful - are allowed, others face challenges, or are excluded if they openly describe their personal experience with state of affairs. Those "problematic" people (if they aren't kicked out, they are being told their simple add : "selling this or that..." is being denied after "review" as 'not complying with rules' (of course not explained what specifically was wrong 😂). One can't help, but believe is prevented as revenge from even simple add - when trying to sell their things.. 🤷🏻‍♀️
(I mean the add wouldn't change outcome - cuz as I said - place is kinda haunted dead cuz what I described above).. just a cherry on the cake - unmasking the locals true face and culture and mentality.

As this locals running the page - defy the purpose of this webpage, this website is doomed.

After so many months and i still cannot unsubscribe from the mail list. The normal unsubscribe method its not working, I sent a message to helpdesk and they did nothing. I can't stop them from sending me emails.

I was not happy when a member asked me a phone number, I sent him but the team deleted it. But when Rajabo japhar asked me a phone number, I sent him and he sent me they was not a problem why??? I'm still curious!!!

Expat.Philippines (add com after expat ) has very heavy handed moderators. Not a good place to openly discuss things that the moderators don't like. Many other expat forums are available.

It's a plateform where I got to meet poeple who share the same passion for traveling and which became great friends.

It is a very useful website when you're an expat. First, it is easy to use, there is a wide veriety of entries, and the interface is pleasant. Second, you can get interesting information.
There are very nice and clever people there, willing to help, and you can get pretty accurate information sometimes. I remember : how to install the rain water circuitry between pump, tank and house in a village ! But you get information too about the laws, the economical situation, or the way to deal with locals, etc.
It is a great help, not the only one, but essential.
My tip : you must carefully choose the way you express your question. Of course, sometimes there will be people who does not have anything to do who will answer. But if you are smart enough, you'll avoid them and get the best out of it.
