E3 Visa for Australians
The E-3 visa is your golden ticket to working in the U.S. as an Aussie professional. We break down the process, paperwork, and pitfalls so you know exactly what to expect and how to nail it — without the legal jargon.
Expat Health Insurance
Health insurance in the U.S. can be confusing — but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve simplified the essentials so you can find a plan that suits your budget, lifestyle, and visa requirements without the stress.
Visa Location Reviews
Not all U.S. consulates are created equal. Our visa location reviews give you firsthand insight from other Aussies about where to go (and where to avoid) when applying or renewing your visa.
Transferring Money (FX)
Moving your money shouldn’t cost you the earth. We explore the best ways to transfer funds, open bank accounts, and save on fees — so your dollars go further on this side of the Pacific.
