Are you an overseas retiree? Our Overseas Retirement Report enables you to share what you've learned with those considering retirement abroad. Please take a few minutes to share your experiences!

As a way of helping expats research life abroad, Expat Exchange uses advice shared in our Expat Report Series to create articles that aggregate information about specific topics relevant to international relocation. We never include private information when we do this. Even though we NEVER sell, rent, or share our members private information, please consider carefully what private or personal information you share with others in our Expat Reports. Read more
