Frequently Asked Questions

Top 20 questions we get about taxes, relocation planning, data accuracy, and using WiseRelocate effectively.

1
How accurate are the tax calculations on WiseRelocate?

Our calculations are built from official rules and updated data inputs, then run through consistent formulas across countries. They are designed for decision support, not filing. Before acting, verify your final setup with a qualified local tax advisor.

2
How often is country data updated?

Core tax and relocation data is reviewed regularly, with faster updates when major law or policy changes happen. We prioritize changes that affect effective tax burden, residency thresholds, and visa eligibility.

3
What is included in Free vs Pro?

Free gives you the calculator experience and limited country visibility. Pro unlocks all countries, deeper breakdowns, more scenario detail, and premium relocation intelligence for confident planning.

4
Is changing tax residency legal?

Yes, legal tax residency changes are common when done correctly. The key is meeting each country's rules in practice, including physical presence, center-of-life factors, and documentation.

5
Can I use WiseRelocate if I am employed, not self-employed?

Yes. The platform is useful for salaried professionals, freelancers, founders, and remote teams. The most relevant path depends on income source, contract structure, and where work is performed.

6
Does WiseRelocate include cost of living or only taxes?

It includes more than taxes. WiseRelocate is meant to support whole relocation decisions by combining tax outcomes with broader country context, so you can evaluate net quality-of-life tradeoffs.

7
Do you cover digital nomad and long-term residency visa paths?

Yes. We include practical visa and residency context for major relocation destinations, with focus on pathways commonly used by remote professionals and entrepreneurs.

8
Can the platform tell me exactly which visa I should apply for?

It helps you narrow options, requirements, and tradeoffs quickly, but it is not a legal representation service. Final visa strategy should be validated with an immigration professional in your target country.

9
Do you support family relocation scenarios?

Yes. Family considerations are part of relocation planning, including partner/dependent implications and practical country fit. Final eligibility always depends on country-specific rules and personal facts.

10
Can I compare multiple countries side by side?

Yes. WiseRelocate supports comparison workflows so you can evaluate multiple destinations against the same income and profile assumptions before deciding where to go deeper.

11
Do you provide legal, tax, or financial advice?

No. WiseRelocate provides educational and planning information to help you make better decisions faster. It is not a substitute for regulated legal, tax, or financial advice.

12
How should I use WiseRelocate before moving?

Start by modeling your likely income scenario, shortlist countries, compare tradeoffs, and identify uncertainty gaps. Then validate your top option with local professionals before executing a move.

13
What does lifetime access on pricing mean?

Lifetime access gives ongoing access to Pro features tied to your account under the current product terms. It is designed for users who want long-term planning support without recurring subscription friction.

14
Can I pay first and create an account later?

The standard flow is account first, then checkout. This ensures your purchase attaches to the correct profile and Pro access is enabled immediately after payment.

15
Do you support different currencies?

Yes. Pricing and key monetary outputs can be viewed through the built-in currency selector so you can interpret results in a familiar currency while comparing countries.

16
Can I trust relocation decisions based only on one tool?

No single tool should be your only input for a cross-border move. WiseRelocate is strongest as a decision accelerator that narrows options before final professional verification.

17
Will WiseRelocate help with company setup and compliance?

It helps you evaluate jurisdictions and likely implications, but it does not replace incorporation, accounting, or legal services. Use local experts for entity setup and ongoing compliance.

18
Is my account and payment information secure?

WiseRelocate uses modern authentication and secure checkout providers for payments. Sensitive payment processing is handled by the payment provider rather than stored directly on the site.

19
What if tax laws change after I choose a country?

Tax frameworks evolve, which is why ongoing monitoring matters. WiseRelocate is built to keep data current so your plan can be adjusted as policies change over time.

20
How can I contact support for a specific question?

Use the contact page or support channel from your account area. For complex personal cases, include your profile details so the team can direct you to the right resources quickly.
