Asian Expats is a free destination lookup that puts the practical numbers for any city on one page. For each place it shows current weather, the best time to visit, a safety score, budget category, internet speed, plug type, how widely English is spoken, tipping norms, daily transit costs and whether the city runs on cash or card. It also checks visa rules by passport and links out to flight comparisons.
Asian Expats: one tab instead of five for any destination
Picking the next base usually means opening a weather site, a safety index, a plug-type chart, a speed test roundup and a visa checker. Asian Expats collects those answers on a single page per destination.
What Asian Expats Does
- Practical stats per city. Current weather, best time to visit, safety score, budget category, internet speed, power plug type, English fluency, tipping rules, daily transit cost and cash versus card.
- Visa rules by passport. Check the entry rules that apply to your nationality rather than a generic summary.
- Top attractions. A short list per city for the non-work half of the trip.
- Flight comparison. It suggests a travel window and links out to fares for it.
- A blog. Longer guides alongside the destination pages.
The data is AI-generated, which is what makes the breadth possible: the site covers destinations worldwide, not just Asia, despite the name.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Internet speed, plug type and cash-versus-card are the three questions that decide whether a city is workable, and they are rarely on the same page as the weather and the visa rules. Having them together is genuinely faster when you are shortlisting three or four cities for the next month.
Treat it as a first pass rather than a source of record. AI-generated figures drift, and anything that would cost you money or a border crossing, visa rules above all, is worth confirming against the official source before you book. For narrowing a shortlist, that is a reasonable trade.
