Expatriates

What is an expatriate? There are lots of different kinds and we try to provide helpful information for all of them.

Expatriates are retired people who have gone to seek the sun, either in a high-tax or a low-tax country, perhaps offshore

Expatriates are managers or employees who have been sent to work for their companies in a foreign country

Expatriates are economic migrants who have gone to seek their fortune in another country ('Polish plumbers' sums it up in Europe, at least)

Expatriates are people who have fled cold, high-tax countries, taking their businesses with them

They all share one characteristic, though, which is that they suddenly have to run their lives in an unfamiliar country, perhaps in an unfamiliar language.

There is a great deal of helpful material in investorsoffshore, and for that matter on our other sites as well, so here are some links to relevant parts of our own and other sites, grouped according to subject:
