Frequently asked questions

No. ExpatIQ reports are for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial, legal, tax, or immigration advice. We provide research and analysis to help you understand your options, but we always recommend verifying critical decisions with qualified professionals (e.g., a tax advisor, immigration lawyer). Think of it as a very thorough briefing document.

Very current. Each report is generated fresh using the latest available data at the time of your order — 2026 rental listings, current visa regulations, up-to-date school fees, and live exchange rates. We don't recycle old reports. However, costs and regulations can change quickly, so we recommend acting on time-sensitive information promptly.

Standard delivery is within 48 hours of completing your questionnaire and payment. Complete tier customers receive priority processing, typically within 24 hours. You'll receive your report as a PDF by email.

Yes. If you're not satisfied with your report, contact us within 7 days of delivery for a full refund — no questions asked. We're confident in the quality of our reports, so we're happy to offer this guarantee.

Our reports handle a wide range of situations — single professionals, couples, families with children, business owners, freelancers, and retirees. The questionnaire captures the details that matter, and the report is tailored accordingly. If you have a particularly unique situation, use the free-text field to tell us about it, and we'll address it in your report.

The Essential report (£99) covers the core topics most people need: visa pathway, financial analysis, housing, lifestyle, and a personalised timeline. The Complete report (£199) adds detailed sections on schools and education (essential if you have children), a healthcare directory, an in-depth risk assessment, and includes 30 days of email follow-up where you can ask questions about your report. If you have children, the Complete tier is strongly recommended.

Absolutely. We take data protection seriously and comply with UK GDPR. Your personal information is used solely to generate your report and is never shared with third parties. Data is retained for 90 days after report delivery (in case you need a re-send), then securely deleted. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
