👋 Hey everyone, this is Misha - founder of Expatria! After months of development work, I’m thrilled to announce the global launch of the internet’s first comprehensive platform to help you retire early by retiring abroad. You don’t have to be 59 and a half to retire; with the cost of living savings & smart planning, you can do it in your 30’s. 🧳 It all started with a conversation my mom and I had earlier this year, when she mentioned she was thinking about retiring in Italy; they had these '1 euro houses' for sale there, and it got me thinking; where else could they retire? I mean, I wouldn’t say no to lasagna and vino for Thanksgiving, but what are our other options? Preferably somewhere more affordable than Western Europe, somewhere she could own a house, with a community of like minded people? Countries like Italy, Portugal & Thailand are pretty popular options, but most people never consider somewhere like Albania. Facing across from Italy, on the other side of the Adriatic Sea, you can immediately get a long term visa after buying a property there, being eligible for permanent residence within a few years. The beaches in the Albanian Riviera are beautiful and the real estate is way more affordable. The world has many such options for you to explore, especially in Latin America, Europe and across Asia. Let's dig into some of the features. 🤯 OPEN FREE TIER 🤯 Our platform has over 60 different immigration programs that you can viably use to move and retire abroad. Some are based on real-estate, others on passive income, others on outright buying a second passport. You can use the interactive Atlas to explore your options, or you can take advantage of our Discover 'IMAX Mode' to walk through programs one by one. The platform has an open free tier where you can use the platform, without logging in, and access programs from Thailand, Italy and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) to start. You can sign up for Expatria+ to unlock the rest of the world, and get hyped for the launch of our online social lounge in our January ‘Lunar New Year’ update. Imagine a jazz lounge, filled with internationally minded people. 🏛️ IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTATION 🏛️ Every program is linked back to the official government website providing official documentation; our data isn’t generated by ChatGPT. Some programs, a limited number at launch, have detailed, document-by-document breakdowns of what forms you need to submit, income requirements, etc. Over time, all programs on the platform will be broken down this way for your convenience; Expatria+ members can request expedited research. 👀💵🤯 COST OF LIVING ANALYSIS 👀💵🤯 As you save interesting cities to your list of favorites for further research, you might want to compare the cost of living. We have provided a set of financial tools to help you build a cost of living calculator based on your current lifestyle; you can then use our side-by-side comparison module to check how the cities are more or less expensive relative to your hometown benchmark. There is a spreadsheet view as well. Cost of living data is from 2023 and will be updated to 2024 as part of our ‘New Years’ update on January 1st. 🏡 REAL ESTATE 🏡 For those who are looking to invest in real-estate as a condition of their immigration program, we have built the Riverlake Chrome Extension to help you centralize your house hunt. When you see a listing that you like, on any real-estate platform, pop open the Chrome Extension and save that house to your Expatria profile You will see it in your 'Real Estate' map, for you to refer back to when comparing your options with your family, friends or financial advisors. On our ‘New Years’ update, we will allow users to optionally share their saved listings as 'public', to spark ideas for others in the community about cities they hadn’t considered. We have collected a list of 300 real estate platforms from around the world to help you start your search. 🌆 CITIES, CITIES, CITIES 🌆 Our database has over a thousand cities, split up into 5 tiers. Our free tier shows limited information about the boujee, cosmopolitan and expensive Tier 1, with 99% of the cities locked to the other tiers. Unless you are wealthy and money is no object, you will probably want to explore Tiers 2 and 3 to find cities that deliver the optimal value between quality of life and cost of living. Tiers 4 and 5 are for the adventurous. 📡👩‍💻 COMMUNITY & MULTIPLAYER 👨‍💻 📡 In our ‘Lunar New Year’ update, we will be launching our online social hub for members to hang out with each other & share their ideas & visions for retirement abroad. Until then, we have a community Slack channel where Expatria+ members can request additional research on a particular program, provide feedback & collaboratively determine the vision for the platform moving forward. Again, there is no Discord. 🎄🎅 HOLIDAY PROMOTION - GIFT MEMBERSHIP 🕎✡️ Between now and December 31st, we are offering a holiday promotion where everyone who subscribes to an annual membership will receive a bonus annual subscription for a plus-one, be they a parent, spouse, or a friend with whom you fantasize about quitting your jobs and leaving the rat race. This year, give that someone special a gift for Christmas that could help you both start a new chapter. 🚀🚀🚀 LAUNCH DAY PROMOTION 🚀🚀🚀 Every single user who signs up for Expatria+ TODAY, on December 11th, will be entered into a raffle to win one of three unique passport-sized leather notebook, which you can use to carry your passport (obvi) and customizable notebooks and sleeves inside - refer to the pictures at the end of the slideshow. Combined with the two for one annual subscription, it would make a heck of a Christmas gift. Delivery guaranteed before Christmas in the United States. 💵 PRICING 💵 Expatria+ comes out to $10 on a monthly plan, or $99 on an annual; the holiday gift membership promotion is only valid for annual subscribers, but the launch day leather notebook raffle is for both plans.
