Nature of the service

Hello Expat helps people who are moving to one of the 30 European countries covered. Moovy, the Hello Expat assistant, is an artificial intelligence. Moovy advises, explains and helps prepare applications and paperwork; it does not sign any document, does not represent anyone and does not carry out any legal or official procedure on the user's behalf. For such acts, it refers users to authorised professionals.
