Be the professional newcomers find first.
People moving to a new place need a lawyer, a mortgage, a removal company, a builder, a school. Expaty destination platforms help them understand the place, and introduce them to local professionals they can rely on.
Newcomers don't know who to trust.
They search in their own language, find directories with hundreds of names, and choose almost at random, or ask strangers in online groups. Excellent local professionals often stay invisible to them.
How it works.
Each destination platform presents a small selection of local professionals by field, next to the guides newcomers read before and after they move. Fewer names, chosen carefully. Newcomers contact you directly, already knowing who you are and what you do.
Who we work with.

Three ways to be involved.
Be featured on the platform
A presence in your field on the destination platform, in English and other languages, next to the content newcomers read.
Work with the destination partner
Be part of the local network the destination partner relies on when newcomers ask who to call.
Become the destination partner
If you know your destination inside out and have a strong local network, you can be Expaty's person on the ground there.
How we choose.
We only feature professionals who already work with international clients, communicate in English and have a solid local reputation, and we check before anyone goes live. Any paid placement is always clearly marked and never replaces our selection.
Who this is for.
A good fit if you:
work in or near one of our destinations; already serve, or want to serve, international clients; can communicate clearly in English.
Not a good fit if you:
are looking for a directory listing among hundreds of others; can't serve clients in English.
Questions
Does it cost anything?
It depends on the destination and on the type of presence, and it's always agreed before anything goes live. Where professional rules limit how you can be promoted, for example for lawyers, we adapt the collaboration to those rules.
Can I be featured without paying?
Our selection comes first. Paid placements, where they exist, are always clearly marked.
Do I need to speak other languages?
English is essential. Other languages are a strong advantage, because many newcomers prefer to deal with someone in their own language.
My destination isn't listed. Can I still get in touch?
Yes. Tell us where you work: it helps us decide where to go next.
