Move overseas without guessing what to do next.
Expatkit compares the expat health insurance, expat bank accounts, VPNs, online notary and US tax services that actually work for American citizens and their families, country by country.

Three problems every American abroad hits, solved in one place
Most advice about moving abroad is written for tourists, or for people with any passport. Yours comes with FATCA, IRS filing from overseas, and banks that close your account when they hear US person. We build for that.
Country-specific, not generic
Every recommendation is filtered by where you are actually going. The best expat health insurance in Portugal is not the best one in Thailand, and we do not pretend otherwise.
Built around US rules
FATCA, FBAR, the foreign earned income exclusion and state residency traps. We only list banks, notaries and tax partners that knowingly accept US citizens.
Independent by design
Partners pay us a referral fee, never for ranking. Our scoring rubric is public, and we publish the providers we rejected alongside the ones we recommend.
Comparison tools, real guides, and a human when you need one
Comparison tools
Side by side on expat health insurance, expat bank accounts, VPN providers and credit cards, scored on coverage, fees, US-citizen acceptance and claim speed.
Country guides and education
Visa routes, cost of living, healthcare access, schooling, and the paperwork order that keeps you legal, written per country and updated as rules change.
Expatkit Advisors
A subscription advisory plan: a named advisor, a written relocation roadmap, document checklists with deadlines, and unlimited follow-up as your move unfolds.
People who already made the jump
We built the resource we could not find in 2019
Expatkit started when our founder spent four months and roughly $3,000 in avoidable fees getting a US family legally settled in Portugal. The information existed, scattered across forums, expired blog posts and provider marketing.
- Independent scoring, applied the same way to every provider
- Every guide is written or reviewed by someone living there
- Visa and tax rules change, so guides carry a last-verified date
