Expatica is an online information portal that serves English-speaking expatriates and the international community.
The website features articles and how-to guides covering various aspects of expat life, including education, finance, tax, relocation, and immigration.
It was founded in 2000 by Canadian Bram Lebo and Dutchman Mark Welling.[1]
Overview
[edit]Expatica's stated mission is to help expats in Europe settle into their new country of residence by providing up-to-date news and information in the English language.[2]
The company's founding was partially funded by the Dutch government (the Twinning Center under the Ministry of Economic Affairs).[3] Expatica services expats in countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the UK, Portugal, South Africa and Japan.
Expatica hosted an annual "I am not a tourist" fair[4] in Amsterdam, Brussels and Madrid, along with regular meet-ups and social events.
Expatica assists academic institutions and independent researchers in carrying out research on expat-related subjects. To date, various surveys have been conducted in co-operation with Expatica, including an investigation into expatriation by Cranfield School of Management.[5]
