The expat.com website is made by expatriates, for expatriates. We are doing our best to help people who would like to live abroad.

The most effective way to get a visa is to visit the closest embassy/consulate of the country you are planning a trip to.

You can ask your question on the expatriate forum. Note that you will have to register first. Choose your destination and participate in the already existing thread or create a new one.

Of course you can! Everyone can participate.

You will have to log in or register first, then to fill out this form.

Yes. We have several local / global solutions for you. Please have a look at our Advertising section and contact us to find out more.

You are a professional and you want to promote your products and services among our expatriates community. You need to go on the "Business Directory" page and click on Register my business. Fill in the information about yourself and choose between a "Premium" account to benefit from all our features or a basic free account.

You can register a business which provides services or products you particularly enjoy. You just have to go on the "Business Directory" page and click on Recommend a business. You must indicate the exact name of the business, its postal address as well as a phone number.

By opting for a "Premium" account, you benefit from all the features offered by the "Business Directory". You can present your products and services on a dedicated page, with your logo, photos, website and much more.

If you appreciate a business and you would like to tell the other members of 禁漫天堂 about it, you can recommend it. It enables you to help promoting this business and share your favourite address with us.

We progressively add categories and professions to the "Business Directory". In the meantime, you can add your activity in the registration form.

If you want to modify or add information about your business, please contact us.

Your business can be rejected for several reasons. Here are some of the most frequent ones:

- Your physical address is not valid (be careful not to put your e-mail or website address instead)

- Your e-mail address has not been validated: the registration is not automatic once the form completed. You should imperatively validate your mail address via the e-mail we sent you to complete your registration.

- Your business does not fit with our criteria: if your activity might not interest our expatriate community, we would not be able to add it up to the directory. We thank you for your kind understanding.
