From Claire's scouting trips. She went to Nice without a checklist once. That's why Firefly exists.
Three steps, each building on the one before. You can step back at any time.
Choose the countries and cities you're weighing and compare them against your own criteria. You get a shortlist you understand, scored on what matters to you.
Work through the 14 stages, starting with the passport and visa questions that can veto everything else. You get one ordered plan, with every cost, contact and link in its place.
Set a target date and Firefly counts the days to your move, at your pace. You get a clear view of what's done and what's left, all the way to the day you land.

“I'm a few years from my own move, weighing Portugal against France. I built Firefly because I needed it, and I use it every week.”

Firefly gives no visa, legal or tax advice. It organizes the questions and documents, and points you to a professional for the parts that need one.
Start free. Pay once when you're ready, with no subscription, and it works for the next move too.

The full planner. A 14-stage roadmap with a drafted action plan, checklist and cost estimate for each stage. A budget with 219 pre-loaded line items in your home and destination currency. Country and city comparison for up to 5 countries, scored against your criteria. Scouting trips, notes, contacts and resources, and 7 downloadable report types. One payment, lifetime access.
Firefly launches with 15 countries covered in depth: Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, with visa, cost-of-living, healthcare and tax data curated by hand. More are added based on member demand. If your target country isn't covered yet, tell us. Requests shape what we add next.
That's the starting line, not a blocker. The free tier scores the countries you're considering against your criteria and suggests others you may not have thought of, before you pay anything.
It turns your answers, plus current country data, into a written, ordered action plan for each of the 14 stages. You edit a draft instead of facing a blank page. The stages start with the passport and visa questions that can veto everything else, and you can work them in any order. It is not advice: Firefly gives no visa, legal or tax advice, and points you to a professional for the parts that need one.
Yes. You can keep a roadmap for each destination you're weighing and switch between them. If your criteria change, Firefly flags every stage that needs another look. And you can run the whole process again for a country you add later, or for your next move.
These moves take one to five years. A meter running the whole time is the wrong model. You pay $297 once and it's yours for this move and the next one. $297 is the early access price, and it never goes up for someone who has already bought.
There's a 14-day money-back guarantee, and the free tier lets you compare countries before paying at all.
Yes. Your answers, roadmap, budget, and notes are private to your account, and we never sell your information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
It's free, and it takes about ten minutes.
