Questions, answered

No. The Guide is a standalone product — covers 25+ countries regardless of your profile. If you want personalized country matches, take the free verdict and consider the Full Report (€10). Many people get both as the €30 bundle.
A single PDF (~24 MB) sent to your inbox within 5 minutes of purchase. Readable on phone, tablet, e-reader, or desktop. Searchable. No DRM.
The Full Report (€10) is personalized — it ranks your top 10 countries against your profile and includes a 90-day plan. The Guide (€25) is a reference book — broader coverage of banking, healthcare, tax, and relocation checklists across 25+ countries. The report tells you where; the guide explains how. Bundle both for €30 (saves €5).
Updated quarterly. The current edition covers data sourced from OECD, World Bank, and official government immigration portals. Free updates for 12 months — re-download the latest edition any time.
We operate a 14-day factual-error correction policy. If a fact in your report is verifiably wrong against an official government source, email hello@wheretoemigrate.io within 14 days — we correct the data, regenerate the report, and resend at no charge. Refunds are not offered as a default policy.
We adjust pricing for emerging markets — purchasing-power parity. If you're in a country with lower purchasing power (parts of Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America), Stripe applies a regional price automatically at checkout.

One book. Every step.

From "I'm thinking about it" to "I landed and registered for healthcare" — without 47 browser tabs.
