FAQs

What type of information is included in the Move Abroad Legal Consult?

In this hour-long consultation, we will cover the following issues: 

  • Tax residency – what it is, and why it matters. 
  • Tax returns – will they be required? In which countries? 
  • Assets in various countries – is this a problem? 
  • Employment and remote work considerations – am I allowed to work abroad for a company? Is freelancing feasible? 
  • The basics of how visas work (not specific to any country) 
  • Retirement issues that may arise
  • Anything else you may be wondering about! 

Moving abroad is an incredible adventure. It is a wonderful way to experience a new culture, meet new friends, and visit places you’ve always dreamed about. However, many people get so excited about the planning of their move that they forget to consider the (less exciting!) details that can derail even the best laid plans. Where you will be taxed, how you will be taxed, the legalities of your presence in another country, your ability to work, and what to do with your US assets are just some of the important issues you need to investigate. We will help you think through these essential considerations. 

The consultation is one hour. This gives us enough time to discuss your specific situation as well as any questions you might have.

It is our goal to answer all of your questions during the consultation! If there are questions we don’t know the answer to, we will point you to resources or professionals who can assist. 

If you are in need of additional services that we cannot provide, we will refer you to other professionals we trust. 

Unfortunately, we can’t assist with visa acquisition. However, we have a list of professionals in various countries who do this type of work, and can refer you to them for further assistance. 

If you are a member of a persecuted group and are low or no-income, please reach out. We offer both discounted and pro bono services to individuals who are in need and who qualify for assistance. 

At this time, Everyday Expat offers the Move Abroad Legal Consult, expat tax preparation, and tax planning/advising consultations. We are growing, however, and hope to soon offer consultations in these additional areas: estate planning, retiring abroad, remote work/business structuring, visa options for US citizens around the world, and expat coaching. 

Yes! We also offer expat tax preparation. Please get in touch if you’d like us to file your US taxes for you.
