Methodology

How to choose a country for your family's move

We don't hand out the same list of countries to everyone. Each family receives a deep research report written specifically for their situation — right down to any unique dimensions that matter only to them.

Three steps from 'I don't know where' to 'here is our plan'

📋
01

You fill out the questionnaire

Tell us about your family: who's moving, how old the children are, what you do, what your budget is, what matters — safety, climate, schools, taxes. Takes 5–10 minutes.

🔬
02

We run the analysis

We apply our 59 standard criteria plus your personal priorities. We compare countries on each point, weighted by their relevance to your specific situation.

📄
03

You receive a personal research report

A detailed document: a country ranking tailored to you, an explanation of every finding, subtle watch-outs worth knowing, and a concrete recommendation — where to start.

59 + up to 40 = up to 99 analysis points

We have 59 standard criteria — applied to every family. This is the foundation: money, climate, children, taxes, housing, safety and much more, organized across 13 thematic blocks.

On top of this foundation — your personal priorities. Your daughter does ballet? That's a criterion. Your husband wants to play golf? Also a criterion. You need a nearby Russian-speaking community? We'll factor it in.

Up to 40 such personal data points are added to the analysis based on your questionnaire. The result — up to 99 criteria working specifically for your family.

I work remotely for a European company. I need a country where I can pay taxes legally and not lose money on exchange rates

It's exactly these details that turn a standard analysis into a personal research report. We factor in every single one.

The full list of criteria and methodology is not published — that's part of the value our clients pay for. But if you're curious — fill out the questionnaire and see it applied to your own situation.

Why this works

The difference between 'finding information online' and 'getting an analysis for your own family' is fundamental.

🎯

Personalization, not templates

No two research reports look alike. A family with three children and a freelancer father will get a completely different ranking than a childless couple with passive income — because the weight of criteria differs.

📖

Explanations, not just numbers

We don't merely assign scores. We explain why country A is better than country B for you specifically — in plain language, without jargon.

🔒

Honest about nuances

A paid research report is the place where we tell the truth. Including the subtle watch-outs worth knowing in advance.

🧭

Concrete recommendation

The report doesn't end with just a ranking — it ends with advice: here's where to start, here's what to check, here's your next step.
