Edinburgh Expat Community for Edinburgh Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Edinburgh Community!

Hello and welcome to our community for Edinburgh expats! Our private network helps you to settle in easily when moving to or living abroad in Edinburgh: Get to know like-minded expatriates in Edinburgh in a casual way, find reliable information and tips about expat life in the UK and meet fellow expats from Edinburgh’s international community at our first-class InterNations events.

Curious to explore other communities in Western Europe, e.g. our chapter for Expat Singapore? Or you might think of stopping by at our Expats Geneva community on your next weekend trip.

Make the most of your Edinburgh Expat Life

The "Athens Of The North" offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like the magnificently situated royal fortress of Edinburgh Castle, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of UK’s various bank holidays, up to getting a taste of traditional roast beef. The InterNations community helps you as an Edinburgh expat to enjoy your expat stay in the UK to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Edinburgh and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺWhich diseases do I need to have my pet checked for before bringing it along to the UK?ʺ up to ʺAm I automatically entitled to NHS insurance and medical care?ʺ.
