What other People say about Expat-Tations – Reviews and more

Would give a million stars if possible, after being blown off and scammed by 2 seperate “lawyers” here we started consulting with Expat-tations and finished the process on our own. They were incredibly kind, transparent, and helpful. They provided multiple services for us at totally reasonable rates, and happily answered any questions that we had relating to the process (more than can be said by a long shot for the “lawyers” we gave 6000 usd to). Thank you so much to everyone at expat-tations, thanks to them we have our tramite and don’t have to deal with people who’s only answer is to try and sell us yet ANOTHER product, packaged as a solution, from one of their affiliates. If you’re having a hard time navigating the immigration system here but are willing to put in leg work expat-tations will be your absolute best resource! Thanks again for everything🙌🏼🙌🏼

They did a stellar job plus they completed all of their tasks on time, which included the Apostille process for an FBI background check, and notarizing and translating all of my income paperwork. Edgar and Sebastian were extremely professional and they immediately caught a couple of mistakes in my documentation that would eventually have delayed my application. They're diligence not only sped up the application process but it also made it stress free. I would definitely use them again as well as recommend them to anyone who needs immigration and document services.

We had to go to the Panamanian Ministry Office to get our picture taken for our temporary visas. We met Ian from Expat-Tations there. He led us to the picture-taking area. We were in and out within twenty minutes of arriving. He was absolutely incredible. If it wasn’t for Ian and the help he gave us, we would have been sitting there all day. We will continue to use them for our permanent visas. Michael and his staff are professional and knowledgeable. Going through the visa process with them has been easy and stress free for us. We highly recommend them as we are extremely satisfied with their work. Expat-Tations, you’re the best!

Had all kinds of problems with the company we hired in the U.S.A first of all almost $3,000.00 USD for their service. When we get here and go to apply for residency we were told all of our paperwork was no good. I called Sébastien told him our situation and he told me to relax that they would handle everything, and he did when we got our packets from Expat-Tations and went to immigration office to file it was so simple and easy no stress no worries got it done in less than 1 hour both my wife and I. Don't do what I did. Don't waste time or money just hire this company situation back relax and do exactly what they say. I did it without a lawyer all I needed was Expat-tations and a translator. You won't regret it

Outstanding service! They went above and beyond for me with requesting multiple documents from both the US and Panama and getting them apostilled. Everything had to be expedited, and I was amazed at how quickly they got everything done. Ricky was fantastic, he kept me informed at every moment and was always a pleasure to interact with. I would absolutely recommend them!

Well first thing I can say is these guys get the job done.And they get it done well. I was worried the whole time I was here.I have a misdemeanor on my record and I was told that you need to have a clean criminal history or they will not approve your Visa. And mine was a misdemeanor non-violent happened 17 years ago but I was still worried. But this team got the job done. and my Visa is approved . They are courteous respectful and on top of things. I got to immigration at 7:00 in the morning I was already packed. My attorney had been there earlier than that probably about 5:00 in the morning I was very impressed.. I was handed all my paperwork stamped signed I was in and out within an hour ahead of hundreds of people. I can't say enough good things about this team Expat tations awesome. 👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

They did a fantastic job with my documents! I had started with their Panama office before moving to Costa Rica, and my plans changed after I arrived and I unexpectedly needed more documents. The Costa Rica office took over seamlessly. Excellent service, very fast and efficient. The communication was always clear and proactive. Highly recommended!

Expat-Tations helped us get all of the documents needed for our family of 7 to apply for residency in Costa Rica. We are so grateful for the work they did for us. Everybody was really helpful and quick to respond. The communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend this service to anybody that's looking to apply for residency in Costa Rica. Everything was handled for us start to finish. I'm so thankful I found this company, I don't think we could have accomplished this on our own.

I am thoroughly impressed with the world-class service provided by Ulise with Oldemar & the team! After communicating with numerous real estate and relocation specialists, I discovered that there are levels within this industry. Their team is truly the best in the business! Much thanks, and gratitude! Their competence, responsiveness, follow-up, and follow-through under pressure are unmatched. Their ability to coordinate, negotiate, and guide us through transactional nuance abroad was a breath of fresh air. We wish we had met them sooner!!
