Why this exists
They're not smarter than you. They've just already made the mistake.
Every month a visa rule tightens, a tax treaty shifts, a residency requirement quietly changes the math on the life you're building abroad. None of it is secret — it's published in government gazettes and embassy notices nobody has time to read in a language they're still learning. Immigration lawyers and relocation firms have staff for that. Now you have us.
