The hardest part of moving abroad isn't the paperwork. It's the first Friday night when you don't know anyone. So you won't land alone.
Your landing cohort
Everyone with a Complete or Household plan moving to your city the same month, in one group chat before you fly.
A first-week meetup
We set a time and place in your first week, so day one ends with new friends, not an empty apartment.
Locals to trade languages with
Practice your Portuguese, Spanish or Greek with people who'll show you their city in return.
Real wait times
How long did your visa take?
Already applied? Tell us where and how long it took. Once enough people answer, we'll publish real wait times by consulate, from people who went through it. We share only totals and averages, never names.
