Avoid. They sanitize the information members provide to fellow members
Reviewed on 2021-05-13T10:35:47
I was a member of this site for many years, as I have lived in various countries in Europe,the Middle East and America.
However, when they started removing posts critical of issues occurring in the countries I had been staying for years and was warning new prospective retirees about, I cancelled my membership.
They basically draw a false picture of countries with their site sanitizing any criticism of local conditions.
Their excuse (I quote): The comment was not "balanced". So they wanted me to mislead fellow expats. When something is wrong, it is wrong and merits no couching it.

A waste of time.
Reviewed on 2021-04-25T13:51:40
I subscribed to this site to prepare for my retirement to Brasil (correct spelling).The main contributor on this site is dead and so the posts are very much out of date. Whenever site traffic is down, someone at the management asks a provocative sometimes racist question just to stir things up. There is an active pressure not to post anything that goes against the approved responses, censorship is the rule here. I managed just fine retiring here to Brasil but, it was no thanks to this site. I strongly recommend finding your answers to any questions you may have at the US Embassy via their site or email and for the most up to date information the Brasilian website (yes it is in English too). If you follow the information you receive from these trusted sources, you will be fine. As to social questions, people are people everywhere. I must add that I do not post online in any regular fashion only when I feel strongly that my experience will help.

I am extremely disappointed!
I recently found a conversation in which one of the interlocutors attackedin a very rude way and spoke with hatred about two nationalities and accused them of crimes.
The whole conversation was disgusting and insulting to me!
After interfering in the conversation and expressing my opinion, a moderator from the website deleted my comments, but the racist comments of the person who wrote the post remained on the site!
After I sent a request to the moderator, for what reason only my post was deleted, I did not receive a response.
Stay away from this website!

This website could be awesome
Reviewed on 2021-01-06T20:14:48
This website could be awesome, however for one particular part (Puerto Rico) it become overrun by local people not the actual expats,and in my personal experience, (not just mine btw), those assess control, de facto preventing objectivity based on expats experiences. Only people who sing the song how everything is wonderful - are allowed, others face challenges, or are excluded if they openly describe their personal experience with state of affairs. Those "problematic" people (if they aren't kicked out, they are being told their simple add : "selling this or that..." is being denied after "review" as 'not complying with rules' (of course not explained what specifically was wrong ?). One can't help, but believe is prevented as revenge from even simple add - when trying to sell their things.. ??♀️
(I mean the add wouldn't change outcome - cuz as I said - place is kinda haunted dead cuz what I described above).. just a cherry on the cake - unmasking the locals true face and culture and mentality.
As this locals running the page - defy the purpose of this webpage, this website is doomed.

Be Warned....
Reviewed on 2020-12-23T09:35:32
Be warned, possibly a racist group of people, often claiming we can't include this or that because this is our 'POLICY'without having any policies in sight. In other words in practice they are showing that if you are black etc etc we can deny your rights at will; by just claiming that in your case this is our policy...be careful I am suspecting closet racist, UK is full of such sorts. These people hide behind noble titles like these but in reality they are anything but.... In the end when I tried ti delete my account they stopped me claiming it i pending, total dictatorship and good old style of such types...WE should not ave star system for this sort

Heavy handed moderation on Forum
Reviewed on 2020-04-04T06:56:34
Expat.Philippines (add com after expat ) has very heavy handed moderators. Not a good place to openly discuss things that the moderators don't like.Many other expat forums are available.
