One covers the paperwork. One covers the pavement. Between them, that's most of what actually decides whether a move works.
Maci covers the paperwork half of moving abroad: which visa routes you can actually use, what the income and savings thresholds really are this year, and the residency rules that shift more often than most sites admit.
She works from primary sources — ministry pages, official gazettes, consulate guidance — and dates every figure she publishes, so you can see when it was last true rather than guessing.
Ewan covers the other half: what a city costs once you are actually living in it, which neighbourhoods hold up on a second visit, and how long the admin really takes between landing and being registered.
He reports on foot, camera in hand, and would rather publish a number he has checked himself than a tidier one copied from a listing site.
Visa and money reporting is worth exactly as much as its sourcing. So every threshold we publish links to the government page it came from, carries the date it was checked, and gets re-checked when the underlying rule moves — most of these figures are pegged to minimum wages that reset each January.
We are not lawyers and we do not assess individual cases. What we do is narrow the field, show the arithmetic, and point you at the office that will actually decide. If you find a figure that has gone stale, tell us at support@joriu.com — corrections get made and dated, not quietly edited.
Start with the Move-Abroad Reality Check to find your route, or the free checklist for the full runway.
When a threshold changes, we send a short note saying what moved and when it takes effect. Nothing else.
Done — you're on the list.
