How To Move To France In 2026 — Visas, Money And Picking Your Region
Aug 26, 202653 min
Richard Hammond, founder of French Connections HCB, joins the Expat Focus Podcast to talk about what it really takes to move to France. Born in France to British parents and raised between two cultures, Richard has spent nearly a decade helping English-speaking families relocate, and his team now handles 30 to 40 visa applications a month. He explains why the visa process is more straightforward than most people fear, especially for retirees, and why the real difficulty has shifted from filling in forms to knowing where in France you should actually live – because a move can succeed on paper while quietly failing on everything that matters. Carlie and Richard also dig into the truth behind the viral remote work stories, what's really happening with early retirees and the French healthcare system, and the financial proof you need for a visa application: the 1,400 euros a month figure, why it's more complicated than a single number, and why Richard tells clients to approach it like a mortgage application. If you're weighing up a move to France – whether you're two years out or already deep in the admin – this one will save you from the mistakes that are hardest to undo. #MoveToFrance #LivingInFrance #FranceVisa #ExpatLife #FrenchBureaucracy #Expat Visit Expat Focus at https://www.expatfocus.com 00:00 Introducing Richard Hammond 02:57 Living Between Cultures 08:06 Building The Relocation Business 15:00 Moving To France In 2026 21:33 Choosing The Right Region 29:43 Region Matcher And Scouting 36:10 Remote Work And Healthcare Myths 45:11 Visa Financial Proof Explained 49:55 How To Get Help 52:14 Wrap Up And Next Steps Video/Transcript – https://www.expatfocus.com/france/podcast/how-to-move-to-france-in-2026-visas-money-and-picking-your-region Show Notes French Connections HCB – https://frenchconnectionshcb.com Move to France HCB – https://movetofrance-hcb.com/ French Connections HCB on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@frenchconnectionshcb Follow Expat Focus here: RSS | https://www.expatfocus.com/feed YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ExpatFocus Podcast | https://www.expatfocus.com/podcast LinkedIn Page | https://www.linkedin.com/company/expatfocus LinkedIn Group | https://www.linkedin.com/groups/673267 X | https://x.com/expatfocus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/expatfocus Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/expatfocus.bsky.social Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/expatfocus TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@expatfocus Mastodon | https://mastodon.social/@expatfocus Website | https://www.expatfocus.com

A Vineyard, A Castle And Three Decades In Asia — Chris Ruffle's Expat Story
Jul 28, 202628 min
British author Chris Ruffle joins the Expat Focus Podcast to talk about three decades of life in Asia — and the vineyard and Scottish castle he built in rural China. Chris left Yorkshire in the 1980s with a degree in Chinese and has since worked across China and Taiwan as an investor, winemaker and writer, most recently publishing the audiobook In a Strange Land. He explains how a frustrating search for a decent bottle of wine led him to plant a vineyard in Shandong, why the winery ended up looking like a granite castle in Aberdeen, and what it really takes to operate a business in rural China — including the handbag a safety inspector requested before signing off on the build. Chris and Carlie talk about homesickness, the friendships that come and go with every move, the letters his mother quietly kept for decades, and what future historians will make of a generation that stopped writing them. If you're weighing up a move abroad, already living far from where you started, or just curious what three decades in Asia actually looks like, this episode is full of stories you won't have heard before. #ExpatLife #LivingInChina #ChinaExpat #ExpatStories #MovingAbroad #Audiobook #ExpatFocus Visit Expat Focus at https://www.expatfocus.com 00:00 Welcome 00:30 Why Chris left the UK 03:13 How the vineyard dream began 05:01 Building a Scottish castle in China 07:14 Bribes, handbags and doing business 09:46 The audiobook: In a Strange Land 11:29 What exile teaches you about displacement 15:17 Where is home now? 17:22 Letters, emails and lost history 19:43 Voice actors and finding new perspectives 23:21 Chinese soil, grapes and wine 26:16 Where to find Chris Video/Transcript – https://www.expatfocus.com/china/podcast/a-vineyard-a-castle-and-three-decades-in-asia-chris-ruffles-expat-story Show Notes In a Strange Land – https://linktr.ee/InAStrangeLand Treaty Port Vineyards – https://www.treatyport.com Follow Expat Focus here: RSS | https://www.expatfocus.com/feed YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ExpatFocus Podcast | https://www.expatfocus.com/podcast LinkedIn Page | https://www.linkedin.com/company/expatfocus LinkedIn Group | https://www.linkedin.com/groups/673267 X | https://x.com/expatfocus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/expatfocus Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/expatfocus.bsky.social Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/expatfocus TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@expatfocus Mastodon | https://mastodon.social/@expatfocus Website | https://www.expatfocus.com

Moving To Málaga In 2026: What You Need To Know
Jul 28, 202623 min
Toni Torres joins the Expat Focus Podcast to talk about the realities of moving to Málaga in 2026. Born and raised in the city, Toni has watched it transform into one of Spain's most popular expat destinations — and he sees both sides of that story every day, working with foreigners settling in while his local friends deal with rising rents and a tourism-first building boom. He explains what has changed over the past five to ten years, why the city draws so many people, how locals really feel about the influx of foreigners, and where he thinks the local government has fallen short. Toni also gets practical: what newcomers need to know about a rental market now among the most expensive in Spain, why you should start your search three or four months ahead and lean on WhatsApp and Facebook groups, and how to avoid the "expat bubble trap" that catches so many arrivals. He unpacks why the language is the biggest obstacle most people face, what actually works for learning Spanish, and his honest take on making Malagueño friends as an adult. If you're considering a move to Málaga — or you're already there and stuck inside the bubble — this is a useful reality check from someone who bridges both worlds. #ExpatLife #MovingToSpain #Málaga #LivingInSpain #SpainExpats #DigitalNomad #ExpatFocus Visit Expat Focus at https://www.expatfocus.com 00:00 Welcome to Málaga 2026 00:49 How Málaga has changed 02:12 Why everyone visits 04:27 Locals vs tourists 08:41 Housing and rent reality 10:31 Finding a place to live 13:07 The expat bubble trap 14:56 Making local friends 16:43 Learn Spanish faster 20:26 Tough love advice 21:47 Where to find Toni 22:53 Final thoughts Video/Transcript – https://www.expatfocus.com/spain/podcast/moving-to-malaga-in-2026-what-you-need-to-know/ Show Notes Toni Torres – https://spanishtoni.com/ Follow Expat Focus here: RSS | https://www.expatfocus.com/feed YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ExpatFocus Podcast | https://www.expatfocus.com/podcast LinkedIn Page | https://www.linkedin.com/company/expatfocus LinkedIn Group | https://www.linkedin.com/groups/673267 X | https://x.com/expatfocus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/expatfocus Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/expatfocus.bsky.social Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/expatfocus TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@expatfocus Mastodon | https://mastodon.social/@expatfocus Website | https://www.expatfocus.com

The Truth About Flying Your Pet Abroad: Busting Common Pet Relocation Myths
Jul 22, 202649 min
Thinking about moving abroad with your pet — or worried about what it actually involves? In this episode of the Expat Focus Podcast, Carlie is joined by Giulia Gebhardt from WorldCare Pet Transport to break down what's changed in international pet relocation, and to bust some of the biggest myths along the way. Giulia explains why rules shift so often from country to country, how rabies categorisation shapes nearly every requirement, and why some breeds — including a few surprising ones — are far trickier to move than others. She also tackles the fears many owners have about the cargo hold and Middle East transits, and shares practical, reassuring advice on crate training and getting your paperwork in order well ahead of time. Whether you're relocating a Labrador, a Persian cat, or a French bulldog, this conversation will help you plan ahead and put your mind at ease. #ExpatLife #MovingAbroad #LivingAbroad #PetRelocation #ExpatFocus Visit Expat Focus at https://www.expatfocus.com 00:00 Welcome Giulia Gebhardt 00:58 How Rules Keep Changing 03:00 Biosecurity and Rabies Explained 07:04 EU and CDC Entry Surprises 11:31 Easy vs High Risk Breeds 17:47 Cargo Hold Myth Busting 24:16 Middle East Transit Pet Lounges 30:23 Crate Training Tips 38:44 Paperwork and Planning Timeline 45:00 Where to Get Help and Resources 48:26 Final Wrap Up and Call to Action Video/Transcript – https://www.expatfocus.com/international/podcast/the-truth-about-flying-your-pet-abroad-busting-common-pet-relocation-myths Show Notes WorldCare Pet Transport - https://worldcarepet.com/door-to-door-pet-transportation-service/ WorldCare's ABCs of Pet Travel resource - https://worldcarepet.com/abcs-of-pet-travel/ Follow Expat Focus here: RSS | https://www.expatfocus.com/feed YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ExpatFocus Podcast | https://www.expatfocus.com/podcast LinkedIn Page | https://www.linkedin.com/company/expatfocus LinkedIn Group | https://www.linkedin.com/groups/673267 X | https://x.com/expatfocus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/expatfocus Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/expatfocus.bsky.social Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/expatfocus TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@expatfocus Mastodon | https://mastodon.social/@expatfocus Website | https://www.expatfocus.com

Looking After Your Mental Health While Living Abroad
Jun 29, 202625 min
Co-Founder of My Expat Mind Anna Zhadan joins the Expat Focus Podcast to talk about expat mental health. After leaving Belarus at just nine years old and making many international moves since, Anna knows first-hand the psychological toll that living abroad can take. She channelled that experience into My Expat Mind, a directory built to help expats find therapists who understand what it's really like to start over in a foreign country. In this conversation, she and Carlie unpack the emotional side of expat life — homesickness, loneliness, identity shifts, the FOMO of watching family and friends move on without you, and how moving so often shaped Anna's independence and her sense of home. The pair then dig into the practical side of looking after your mental well-being abroad: how to find a therapist who speaks your language and gets the expat experience, why therapy is for everyday good health and not just crisis moments, and how insurance and reimbursement can vary wildly from country to country. Anna explains how My Expat Mind works as a free directory for clients, and shares a simple packing tip for making any new place feel a little more like home. If you've ever struggled with the hidden emotional challenges of living abroad — or you're considering a move and want to look after your mental health along the way — this episode is for you. #ExpatLife #ExpatMentalHealth #MovingAbroad #ExpatTherapy #LivingAbroad #Homesickness #ExpatFocus 👉 Visit Expat Focus at https://www.expatfocus.com 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:55 Anna's First Big Move 02:37 Defining Home Abroad 05:08 Challenges of Frequent Moves 06:45 Friendships Across Borders 10:06 How My Expat Mind Began 12:06 Common Expat Mental Struggles 13:52 Finding the Right Therapist 16:03 Why Therapy Helps 20:39 Insurance and Reimbursement 21:59 Packing Tip for Feeling at Home 23:17 Where to Find My Expat Mind 23:56 Final Thoughts and Outro 🎥 Video/Transcript – https://www.expatfocus.com/international/podcast/looking-after-your-mental-health-while-living-abroad 📝 Show Notes My Expat Mind – https://myexpatmind.com/ 👉 Follow Expat Focus here: RSS | https://www.expatfocus.com/feed YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ExpatFocus Podcast | https://www.expatfocus.com/podcast LinkedIn Page | https://www.linkedin.com/company/expatfocus LinkedIn Group | https://www.linkedin.com/groups/673267 X | https://x.com/expatfocus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/expatfocus Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/expatfocus.bsky.social Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/expatfocus TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@expatfocus Mastodon | https://mastodon.social/@expatfocus Website | https://www.expatfocus.com

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
