Life as an expatriate presents a wide range of additional cultural, financial and experiential opportunities. It also presents extra challenges and pitfalls. To take maximum advantage of the opportunities, while avoiding the pitfalls requires expertise and a diversity of skills. The role of MBMG has always been to provide these skills, whether from our own resources or from our affiliates. The different aspects are all covered in the following series of guides; however it is strongly recommended that these are used merely as an introduction; every individual situation is unique and tailored professional advice should usually be obtained. This is covered in more detail in our offshore guide to Choosing an Independent Financial Advisor

First time expatriates will usually find themselves in a different situation to those who are used to working overseas. For first-timers, every aspect of life may be about to change and The MBMG Guide for New Expatriates focuses on covering every aspect of life away from your home country. The MBMG Guide for Long Term Expatriates focuses in more detail on those issues likely to be of more interest to these who have already established a solid foundation but perhaps need to take a fresh look at their ongoing planning.
