About ExpatEngine

Why this site exists and what it is trying to make easier.

Moving country often means comparing tax rules, permit timelines and travel limits across government sites that were never designed for side-by-side decisions. ExpatEngine is a collection of narrow tools that converts those rules into useful first-pass answers.

Europe-first

The first release focuses on European expat questions because the initial tools — special tax schemes, Schengen stays and long-term residence — naturally overlap there.

What the site is not

ExpatEngine is not a government agency, tax adviser, immigration lawyer or application service. It does not submit applications or guarantee outcomes.

Funding

The intended model is free access supported by display advertising after the site is approved, with clearly labelled affiliate links possible later. Monetisation should not alter the underlying rule logic.
