Expat Focus<\/a><\/h4>\n

Well done to Expat Focus for topping the podium in our Expat Advice and Information category. This is one of our most prestigious awards as it recognises the websites that give expats access to the information they are most likely to need in one handy place. Expat Focus offers a wealth of information that is geared towards making expat life just that little bit easier. Whether you are looking into moving but you\u2019re not sure where to, or you have already moved and you need a hand with getting acquainted to life in a foreign land, you can be sure Expat Focus will deliver. Check out their Essential Expat Guide before you do anything else. It\u2019s a great read and will help you to focus on what you need to do next to turn your migration dreams into a reality.

Expat Exchange<\/a><\/h4>\n

Our silver award winner is Expat Exchange and a worthy winner they are too. This is a great site to visit for the expat collecting information and advice before they make the leap to pastures new. Personally, we\u2019ve never seen so many forums dedicated to individual countries before. From Algeria to Zimbabwe, you\u2019ll find a forum packed with real world experience and handy information that will ease you into expat life in no time. Joining is free and once you do you\u2019ll be rubbing virtual shoulders with seasoned expats who have been there, done that and who are now living the lives they have always dreamed of.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”first”]\n

Xpat Jobs<\/a><\/h4>\n

Of course, one of the most important things on an expat\u2019s to do list is finding a job. Unless you are from a wealthy family, you were lucky enough to marry into money or you are retired, being granted citizenship in most countries is almost impossible if you don\u2019t have a job. If you\u2019re going to use one site to find a job in a new country, make it expatjobs.eu. Here you\u2019ll find job listings in over 140 countries, advice from recruitment companies, a CV doctor service that ensures you make a great impression and articles covering every aspect of expat life. If we didn\u2019t love our jobs here at My Currency Transfer so much, we might be tempted to submit our CVs!<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n[spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” el_class=”lightbluebg col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
