I was struggling with my Costa Rica Digital Nomad Visa application - the process was much more complex then I thought it would be. I reached out to StartAbroad and they helped me navigate the process for myself and my daughter. They are very quick to respond and very knowledgeable. If you're getting your Digital Nomad Visa in Costa Rica, I'd recommend working with them to make your life much easier. They also have other really useful services for expats such as assistance with purchasing a vehicle. Thanks again StartAboard!

As a concierge client Start Abroad handled every necessary detail for a successful purchase of property in Portugal and pathway to the Golden Visa. I am on my way! Time was everything for me and the concierge fee was well worth the price and in fact was a "steal" given that they handled every detail from property assessment, all in-country expertise including buyer's realtors, specialist attorneys, hotels, car rentals etc. I was able to avail myself of all the necessary services including that Zach accompanied me in Portugal. In so doing it helped me manage my time and focus. Additionally, it was fun along the way.

We greatly appreciated the personable and the concierge service that StartABroad offered. Anne, listened to what we said and what we did not say and helped us plan a very fun, but strategic exploratory trip. We were able to see multiple cities during our very brief visit and have a lot of fun along the way.

We hired StartAbroad to help us find a long-term rental in Portugal and we're extremely happy that we did. Because we wanted to be in the Algarve where longer term rentals aren't easy to find, Anna from StartAbroad helped us create a wish list that matched our budget still managed to check the boxes that were important to us. Based on that, she compiled listings for us to see as soon as we touched down in Portugal from the US. Armed with that, and a little bit of luck, we were able to find a home that was everything we'd hoped for! We feel very confident recommending StartAbroad to anyone looking to relocate abroad.

It was an ultimate pleasure working with StartAboard, from start to finish they took care of every minor detail. Their service took loads of pressure off my hands as you can imagine all the small details and variables you have to consider when moving to a different country. Anna was on the ball and managed to secure a property, scooter and even connected me with a bunch of church groups as I was looking to do some mission work (which was a unique request from my end). Anna was also very organized and had a well thought out process that gives you peace of mind and security. And her research was top notch! I would highly recommend StartAboard if you are looking to relocate or even have them plan out your next vacation.

Moving from Toronto to Costa Rica has been challenging but ultimately very much worth it so far. One of the obstacles was how to bring our large dog Ruby, down to CR. I was referred to StartAbroad and had many discussions with Anna regarding how we can get Ruby down to CR without breaking the bank even before we had spent a dollar on her services. Many options were outrageously expensive so we decided to let the pros figure out a way that was affordable. After much research and phone calls and super hard work, Anna was able to get Ruby down at a fraction of the cost with constant follow ups and updates. We highly recommend StartAbroad for all your pet transport needs.

Start abroad is amazing and super helpful. They responded immediately and were able to help me with the entire process of my application

Wonderful service for moving abroad. I originally sought out help planning my move because I got overwhelmed with all the steps. I got answers about finances, law, taxes, moving expenses and neighborhood statistics, all in less than 3 weeks! Anna is thorough, as I got summaries of the team's research along with the websites where they found the information. Information that would have taken me months to find, was presented in an easy to digest, well-researched format and anything she was unsure about, she offered links to other experts to help. If you're moving abroad, I recommend saving time and utilizing the amazing skills of this company.
