Je suis mentore pour les italiens qui ont un projet d'expatriation en France.
Le site fournit des conseils, des astuces ou des outils pour anticiper les démarches de l'expatriation comme: trouver un travail, s'inscrire au pôle emploi, trouver une location ou des activités.
L'avantage du site est que fournit des informations de la part de personnes déjà expatriées (comme moi) qui ont déjà dû passer par les mêmes démarches (souvent fatiquantes).

Expat.com l'ho definito sin da subito il porto sicuro delle informazioni per gli utenti in aria di espatrio piuttosto che di già expats. io stesso l'ho utilizzato per approfondire argomenti o venire a conoscenza di nuovi.
Vorrei spendere una parola di elogio per il lavoro che lo staff di Expat.cz fa per promuovere, coordinare e condividere notizie e scambi di informazioni tra utenti o dummy dell'espatrio. Posso dire che i curiosi di vari argomenti possono trovare sia informazioni che supporto. meglio di così dico grazie Expat.com.

Il sito nasce con ottime intenzioni e i temi trattati sono numerosi ed articolati. Infatti riguardano sia gli aspetti pratici per vivere all'estero (es.casa, trasporti, finanze, lavoro) ed aspetti se vogliamo piu' personali (come approcciare l'inserimento, atteggiamento mentale, difficolta' varie, esperienze vissute etc...).
Bene avere il sito organizzato in sezioni dedicate per tracciare i temi piu' pratici. Un appunto che si potrebbe fare e' che tali sezioni non sono sempre aggiornate. Per quanto riguarda i temi invece piu' personali e sociali direi che l'esperienza e' positiva visti i molti i punti di vista diversi che a volte si confrontano. Inoltre devo riconoscere che i casi di utenti "difficili" sono estremamente rari ed il supporto nella moderazione e' pronto ed efficace. Ho notato alcuni utenti interpretare arbitrariamente gli scopi e gli intenti del sito, scambiandolo per una piattaforma di "dating" o un social strumentale a promozioni private (es. prodotti finanziari). In questi casi il supporto ricevuto per decidere il ban o il blocco e' stato tempestivo.
Un auspicio: le comunita' di expat non sono vitali se ogni utente pensa al sito come una vending machine, richiedo --> ottengo--> arrivederci a tutti. Mi auguro che se il sito sia stato di aiuto a qualcuno, l'utente avverta il desiderio di restituire il beneficio ottenuto mettendo in comune la propria esperienza ai nuovi arrivati. La continuita' assieme all'accuratezza delle info condivise possono essere chiave per costruire una comunita' vitale che non sia solo una somma di utenti che soddisfano i loro bisogni.

Molto utile non c'è dubbio, ma lo trovo molto lento per comunicare con gli utenti tramite chat e per le notifiche, visto che la email non la guardiamo spesso, si rischia di leggerle troppo tardi.
Può migliorare sicuramente, magari con la possibilità di trasformare la chat in modo più interattivo o collegarla ad un link per accedere ad una chat tipo Messanger.
Comunque ringrazio per il vostro lavoro e la possibilità che mi avete dato nel contribuire a questo sito.

I have been participating in this website for almost 10 years and I think that this website is interesting to exchange information between expats if one goes directly to the point as long as they know and can separate the grain from the chaff.

As in any other website open to the public in general, everyone has space on it and we all know what happens when everyone can participate.

In any case, and although the freedom of speech, (or of the press) should be an inalienable right, there are opinions or advice that should be censored and their authors banned because racism, intolerance, unwanted advertising and illegal or dangerous advice should not be allowed under the protection of freedom of expression.

As some others have pointed out I think that this site has a flaw because allows to join locals who, in some forums, outnumber any real expats (and sometimes pretending to be expats), or foreigners who have nothing of expat since they either do not reside in the country (typical case of those who travel 2 or 22 times for whatever reason) or if they reside in the country, they do so as locals. The info provided by them is often incorrect so we have to take care with some advices althgough by others ways (webs) can be quickly identify theirs rubbish advice. I am surprised by this matter when i often read into these site some dangerous or illegal advices

Moreover some of them are biased or racist and mostly of them often make dodgy offers, using this site as an advertising platform for their services, drawing a false picture of some countries or criticizing and denying the real expat advice.

This website could be awesome for exchanging info between expats if it weren't for these and some other things which I understand are very difficult to keep under control.

It's a good and useful way to get information before you move to another country even for vacation you can consult about anything you need.

Entre a Expat.com el año pasado buscando información y experiencias de otros expatriados con los trámites burocráticos para obtener el permiso de residencia en Italia. Es un sitio bastante completo con buena información y en donde otras personas también dan sus aportes y cuentas sus experiencias personales. También puede servir para hacer nuevas amistades. Lo recomiendo.

Expat.com is very supportive and helpful platform , where expats moving to any country can find lots of information of that particular country, interact with other expats & gain confidence for their new destination.

Expat is a melting pot where you can get advice and info about the first steps to take when emigrating. You can find essential data with relevant links where you can double-check what's best for each situation.
I'm part of the Expat community and I really appreciate it :)

Useful tool.
Nice to look for tips, answers...
The only bad spot for me is most of people is just using it to ask for information but they dont take the time after to answer to anybody, so in certain chats (countries) is just replying always same people.

Hi! I met the platform of this page 1 year ago, we need to know more about the experience of expatriates, for example, the cost of living in those places, for me they have been useful, about housing and places

I find it a useful social network. To highlight the guides for each country and the news magazine. Also the forum section is very practical to get in touch with people in other countries of the world.

It should improve aspects such as design, accessibility and create an app.

Es muy interesante para conocer personas de tu país y para obtener informaciones importantes que te puedan ayudar.

Hej!

Expat es un lugar donde fácilmente muchos inmigrantes encontramos información que de otra forma habría que dedicar muchas horas mirando muchas webs.

Además poder hablar con otros inmigrantes para preguntar o saber de sus experiencias, te facilita mucho a la hora de tomar la decisión de ir a vivir a otro país.

Yo suelo mirárla cada semana para estar al día y me parece una herramienta digital muy útil y necesaria.

Un saludo desde Suecia

Un foro muy interesante, con temas variados e importantes para los expatriados, donde te puedes nutrir de mucha información a la hora de vivir en el extranjero.

Je suis donc mis dehors sans raison et sans explications. Brrrr. Cela fait froid dans le dos !

As most others have pointed out. The site has been hijacked by a group who are biased, possibly racist or bigoted. They value censorship above free speech and stifle any dissent or people sharing problems or painful experiences. The info provided is mostly incorrect and a quick google to an embassy can quickly identify the rubbish advice. Often times dangerous and illegal. The site has a peculiar and severe flaw. They allow "locals" to join .. who basically outnumber any real expats 15/1 . The locals make strange and dodgy "offers" . The other problem is in some zones they have locals pretending to be expats negating everything the expats say . Lastly there are a few old timers on there that have lost all perspective and can't stand any opinion other than their own and they pressure admins as long standing members to delete everything they don't like. I remember the older my grandma became, the more her stubborness increased and at a certain point you could no longer reason with her. There are a few "gold" members like these enforcing their seniority on the website forums . Often times stuff that is way more useful or coherent from younger members are lost and they keep banging on about their experiences in the 80's.

I was a member of this site for many years, as I have lived in various countries in Europe, the Middle East and America.
However, when they started removing posts critical of issues occurring in the countries I had been staying for years and was warning new prospective retirees about, I cancelled my membership.
They basically draw a false picture of countries with their site sanitizing any criticism of local conditions.

Their excuse (I quote): The comment was not "balanced". So they wanted me to mislead fellow expats. When something is wrong, it is wrong and merits no couching it.

I subscribed to this site to prepare for my retirement to Brasil (correct spelling). The main contributor on this site is dead and so the posts are very much out of date. Whenever site traffic is down, someone at the management asks a provocative sometimes racist question just to stir things up. There is an active pressure not to post anything that goes against the approved responses, censorship is the rule here. I managed just fine retiring here to Brasil but, it was no thanks to this site. I strongly recommend finding your answers to any questions you may have at the US Embassy via their site or email and for the most up to date information the Brasilian website (yes it is in English too). If you follow the information you receive from these trusted sources, you will be fine. As to social questions, people are people everywhere. I must add that I do not post online in any regular fashion only when I feel strongly that my experience will help.

I am extremely disappointed!
I recently found a conversation in which one of the interlocutors attacked in a very rude way and spoke with hatred about two nationalities and accused them of crimes.
The whole conversation was disgusting and insulting to me!
After interfering in the conversation and expressing my opinion, a moderator from the website deleted my comments, but the racist comments of the person who wrote the post remained on the site!
After I sent a request to the moderator, for what reason only my post was deleted, I did not receive a response.
Stay away from this website!
