WHAT'S INSIDE
Visa tracking that actually keeps up:
- Country-specific visas covered: Thailand (DTV, LTR, Elite, retirement, marriage, work, education, tourist), Vietnam (E-Visa, Visa Exempt, DL Visa), Indonesia (VOA, B211A, KITAS), - - Philippines (Tourist, SRRV), Mexico (FMM, Temporary/Permanent Resident), Spain & Portugal (Schengen 90/180, D7, Digital Nomad, Golden Visa), Colombia (M, R, Tourist)
- Smart reminders before your stamp expires and before your 90-day TM.47 is due (Pro)
- Log extensions and border runs - your countdown adjusts on its own
- Visa-specific guidance, not generic noise scraped off forums
A simplified map of what you actually need:
- Coworking spaces, gyms, restaurants, ATMs, hospitals, pharmacies, cafes, massage spots, supermarkets, gas stations, and more - wherever you are
- Reorder categories so the ones you use most show first
- Hide the categories you don't care about so the map stays clean (Pro)
- Community-rated picks - upvote what's actually good
Find your people - Groups:
- Join groups around what you're actually into: Muay Thai gyms, run clubs, dance classes, language exchanges, parents' groups, entrepreneur circles, whatever
- Discover by city, interest, visa type, or persona
- Build your own if the one you need doesn't exist yet
- Real foreigners physically here, not a global Discord where half the people left in 2019
Show up - Events:
- Run clubs, beach BBQs, photo walks, sparring sessions, sunset yoga - hosted by people on the ground
- Now also on the map - find events near you instantly
- Public events with one-tap RSVP, or closed events the host approves
Ask the questions you'd otherwise drop into five Facebook groups:
- Topics that match how foreigners actually live wherever you are: visas, housing, banking, dating, schools, scams, healthcare, transport, food, and 30+ more
- Hashtags adapt per country - DTV and TM30 in Thailand, FMM and Temporary Resident in Mexico, Schengen and D7 in Portugal, etc.
- Upvote what's useful, leave what isn't
Convert anything to your home currency (and back)
- Live conversion in your destination's local currency - THB, VND, JPY, KRW, EUR, MXN, COP, BRL, and more
- 4 customisable currency slots so your most-used pairs are one tap away (Pro: 4 slots, Free: 2)
- Add custom units for whatever's specific to your life here (Pro)
Translate that you can actually use:
- Type, speak, or point your camera at menus, signs, contracts, receipts
- Works in your destination's language: Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Tagalog, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Georgian
- On-device OCR for instant translation - no internet required for menus and signs
- Save phrases you use and drill them later
Learn the local language without burning out:
- 735+ phrases per country across 13 categories - greetings, food, money, taxi, emergency, dating, more
- Flashcards and Quick Quiz are free
- Sentence Builder, Memory Match, and Listen & Pick unlock with Pro
- Spaced repetition that knows what you're forgetting
- XP and streaks for the days you need a nudge
