👋 Hey Product Hunt — Nor here, maker of Expath.
A few years ago I was living in Armenia when a job offer landed: relocate to Europe. I said yes to the adventure — and walked straight into the paperwork olympics. My visa had to be filed in Georgia, not Armenia. My dog needed a 3-month blood-sample process before he could fly. In the Netherlands I learned you get 5 days to register your address, and that missing health insurance costs €472/month in fines. I kept spreadsheets of spreadsheets just to stay afloat.
Then Paris pulled me in — and French bureaucracy tipped me over the edge. A ~50-page first tax filing, endless loops with Impôts, CAF, and the préfecture, everything in a language I barely spoke. Which form? How do I send it? Where is my phone to Google Translate? Even with a relocation agent, I was navigating blind.
Here's what I realized: the dream of living in Europe rarely dies from lack of courage. It dies from uncertainty — not knowing if you're eligible, what comes next, or which mistake will cost you months. So I built the tool I wish I'd had. Expath turns every unknown into a known:
• "Am I even eligible?" → a definite answer. Expath analyzes your profession, qualifications, and family situation and tells you your optimal visa route (Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Poland)
• "What do I do next?" → always answered. A personal roadmap with every document, deadline, and registration (Anmeldung, NIE/TIE, tax IDs, health insurance) in the right order
• "What am I forgetting?" → nothing. Expath stays with you after landing — tax registration, renewals, everything with a hidden timer
Expath is completely free while in early access — see your path in minutes, no card, no catch.

Brutally honest feedback welcome — especially from anyone who's been through an EU relocation. Which city are you dreaming about, and which country should we add next?

I remember going through all these unknowns a couple of years ago and really wish Expath had existed back then. it solves a very real problem, so I hope it gets the visibility it deserves and reaches the people who need it most. congrats on the launch!

@sipan_babertsyan Thanks Sipan. Which country was your move? Collecting the worst "unknowns" from people who already did it, they go straight into the roadmaps.

@nor_y Estonia it is, a growing tech hub worth considering

@sipan_babertsyan Estonia keeps coming up, especially from people in tech. Adding it to the shortlist for the next batch of countries. Thanks for the nudge, Sipan.

honestly the step by step breakdown saved me from going down a rabbit hole of confusing forum posts. liked that it just tells you what to do next without all the fluff.

@eminetuzem34272 Thank you Emine — "what to do next without the fluff" is honestly the whole job description, so this made my day. Which country is your plan for? And if any step felt off or missing, tell me straight — we're shipping fixes daily during early access.

I did a quick test, as I already migrated to Poland a few years ago from Venezuela, and man, this is gold, believe me, I hope and wish you all the success, I wish you found a sponsor to fund this to make it free of charge as immigration paperwork is already expensive, and retry loops due to mistakes also add up, but a tool like this one would make it way more easy! way to go! The fact that you had a hyperlink to a Venezuelan institution page even though they usually don't work is amazing! COngrats!!1

@igor_torrealba Venezuela to Poland is exactly the kind of path where bad info costs months, so thanks for actually testing it — that means more than the congrats. Noted on pricing: the entry point stays free, that's a commitment. And if anything in the Poland plan looked off, say it straight, we ship fixes daily.

looks promising, are you planning to add SEA countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia?

@azamat_gafurov Europe first, it's the bureaucracy we know from personal experience. SEA is on the list though, Singapore and Malaysia come up most often. Which one matters to you, and moving in or out?
Report
Are China and the USA planned soon? That would be very relevant.

Hunter
@maria_semina Honest answer: not soon. We go deep on one region at a time — shallow checklists are exactly what we're trying to replace, and the US and China are both systems where wrong info costs months. Which direction matters most to you, moving to the US or out of it? That genuinely shapes what we build next.

Hi Nor, this is an incredible idea. I'd love to contribute by adding in NA and Australia as those are also hot immigration dest for most Asians. Are you open to open source contributors?

@farzan_saqib Farzan, this made my week. The codebase isn't open source today, but corridor knowledge is exactly where we need contributors — the edge cases only people who lived a route know. NA and Australia are big asks from Asian users, you're right. Write me at support@expath.ai with which corridors you know best and let's figure out what contributing looks like. Seriously, thank you for offering.
This is really helpful for expats. I wish this app existed years ago when I was moving to Europe. It would have saved a lot of my time and nerves. Good luck!

@aren_barseghyan Thanks Aren. Where did you end up moving? Curious which path you took, the "time and nerves" stories are literally what we build the roadmaps from.
