Hi, my name is Renato, I am an Expat Consultant from Panama, but I have lived in Budapest, Hungary, since 2006. This channel is to help expats who are planning to move to Budapest or are new to the city. I will provide practical information and technical guidance to make your life a bit easier.
Disclaimer: The information shared on this channel is based on my experience supporting expats through various processes, also on knowledge and research. My videos are intended for general guidance and generally apply to standard situations. Every case is unique, and legislation and rules can change, so viewers remain responsible for seeking personalized, professional advice for complex or unusual circumstances. My goal is to empower you with reliable insights, but your specific path may require tailored support.

NEW REVIEW in Trustpilot!
- Valued and Trustable Expat Consultant -
I got to know Renato, through his YouTube channel and it brings my trust on him, as the information he has provided was accurate and precise. Thought to reach him directly to understand more about the process and detailed information about the subject and it helped me alot to take my decision. Gradually working with Renato made me more confident to achieve my goals of relocation followed by making plans for my job, housing and education for my kid. The information provided consists of all the positives and negative hurdles I may face while relocation process while in case of others it's not a case.
Truly satisfied with his consultancy and recommend with full points to people looking after this review to work with Renato more closely to meet their immigration and relocation goals.

Dear all,
Lost I have been, for a couple of weeks. I have been sharpening the saw a bit, completing 2 courses in the edX platform. One on journalism; the other one about public speaking. The goal is to implement gradual improvements to my videos. I enjoyed both courses, learned a thing or two, and got inspired.
They were both free, check the platform: www.edx.org/school/edx

For you as an expat, comparing wages to the cost of living is crucial before relocating. A higher salary may not stretch far if housing, healthcare, and daily expenses are costly. Evaluating this balance ensures financial stability, a comfortable lifestyle, and informed choices when selecting the most suitable city abroad.
Here a video which helps you with this: https://youtu.be/VYYqjsflRD4?si=DlJTI...
