Hi Product Hunters and Makers! 👋 I’m David, founder of Expat Empire. We initially launched on Product Hunt in 2018 with the release of my first book Passport to Working in Japan. It's been 5 long years of working on growing the business since then, but this is the first time we're releasing a new product that I think is worth sharing with the Product Hunt community 🙂 Today we are officially launching Expat Tools on PH! 🚀 Our goal with this product is to provide a single place for people interested in living overseas to get the information they need to take their next steps abroad. You can use these free tools to: 🗺️ Find the perfect country to move to 📕 Explore your visa options 💰 Pay less taxes abroad 💻 Discover remote work opportunities To give you some more context on this product launch, we stopped offering a few of our core consulting services in March. Since then, we realized we still had a lot of valuable data sitting around that we had been using to produce those services. We initially offered paid access to the visa and tax databases, but keeping this essential information hidden behind a paywall didn't feel right to me. The thought of making this information free to access was bouncing around in my head for the past several months. When I finally sat down to see how I might be able to do it, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could do it easily with Airtable and Softr's free plans! You can read more about how I made this product in this post. 💸 EXCLUSIVE PH OFFER: Though Expat Tools is free to use, we offer several consulting services, courses, books, and much more to help people to achieve their dreams of living abroad. If you want extra information or support in your journey abroad, you can check out our shop at expatempire.com/shop. As an exclusive offer to the Product Hunt community, we're offering 10% OFF everything in our shop until August 9 with the discount code PH10! 💸 We’re super excited to bring you Expat Tools and hope you enjoy them! We'd love to hear your feedback on these tools, so please let us know your thoughts on how we can improve them. Thanks for your support and happy hunting!

Congratulations on the successful launch of Expat Tools! It sounds like a fantastic product to help people plan their international lifestyle. To make it even better, consider adding these features: 1. Interactive cost of living calculator for various countries. 2. A community forum for expats to share experiences and advice. 3. Integration with global job portals for remote work opportunities. 4. Daily updates on visa policy changes and travel restrictions. Great work so far! I'd love to connect on Product Hunt and learn more about your journey. Feel free to drop me a message there!
