About this site

living-abroad.org is a structured comparison of digital-nomad and long-stay visa programs. It exists because most visa information online is either outdated, copied from other blogs, or written to sell a service — and because the difference between a smooth application and a rejection is usually a detail: the exact income threshold, the insurance coverage minimum, the wording of a requirement.

Method

Every program in our database is researched from the official source hierarchy: government immigration portals, ministries, official e-visa platforms and gazettes first; established law firms only to interpret them; blogs and aggregators never. Each record stores the sources per claim, the date it was last verified, and a confidence rating. Where official sources conflict, we show a warning instead of picking a convenient number.

The dataset is maintained as a structured database and re-verified continuously — pages show their verification date. If you spot an error, please tell us: hello@arrimundo.com.

Funding

The site is funded through affiliate partnerships with some of the insurance providers we list. Commissions never influence rankings — plans are ordered by how well they match each visa's published requirement, then by price. Details in our affiliate disclosure.

Who runs this

living-abroad.org is an independent publishing project and belongs to the same family of information portals as study-abroad.org. Contact and legal details are in the imprint.

Henry van de Vorming is the responsible editor and the person accountable for the content under German press law (see the imprint). Every program and insurance record carries a verification date and a named reviewer because, on a site where a wrong number can cost someone a visa, accountability should have a name — not a faceless brand. The reviewer line you see next to each verification date links back here.

What this site is not

We are not a law firm, not a visa agency and not an insurance broker. Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice. We link to the competent authorities on every page so you can verify everything yourself — please do, before making decisions.
