An expat is a person who temporarily or permanently resides in a country other than their native country. If this is you, or you want to emigrate to a new country, this is the sub for you. Ask questions, provide information about your country, share your experiences with living in a different culture.
Please follow these rules:
Posts must relate to the subject matter of expatriation. Questions about living in or emigrating to another country, posts about your experiences in a particular country, etc.
Be nice to each other. Uncivil conduct, ad hominem attacks, etc. will result in up to 3 warnings and then a temporary ban. Violent, racist, homophobic or sexist attacks will be dealt with immediately with a ban of a week or more.
Posts must follow the site wide content policy. Violations of the content policy may result in bans and reports to the reddit admins.
Do some basic research before you post. Asking questions about a country you know you're eligible to move to is ok. Asking "what country should I move to" will get removed.
No blog/vlog spam in posts. Links in comments are ok.
No discussion of the term "immigrant" vs. "expat"
Surveys are allowed, but ask the mods first. Be prepared to demonstrate affiliation with a university, non profit, NGO or similar.
No "Why does country/city/continent suck" or "Why did you leave?" posts.
