Relokato Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. What makes Relokato unique?

   Relokato is built around one idea: official sources, in the right order.

   • Every official step is sourced and dated. Each one links to the government page it comes from and shows the date it was last checked, so you can verify it yourself.
   • Sequenced, not just listed. Tasks are ordered by what depends on what (tax number before bank account, bank account before lease), and Focus View shows what to do right now, what's next, and what can wait.
   • Zero-custody. Relokato tracks your document expiry dates and deadlines but never asks for, receives or stores the documents themselves.
   • Self-directed. It's a planning tool you use yourself, at a flat price, rather than a service you pay per step.

2. Why should a person choose Relokato over its competitors?

   Choose Relokato if you want to plan and run your move yourself, with a clear picture of every step.

   Relocation services handle parts of the paperwork for you and charge per service. Relokato is different: it gives you the whole plan, in order, with each official step linked to its government source, so you understand the process and can decide where you want outside help.

   • Full sequenced plans for Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Panamá, the Netherlands and Costa Rica, plus Nomad Mode
   • Visa tracker, document expiry and deadline reminders, budget tracker and calendar in one place
   • A free plan forever, a 14-day full-access trial with no card, and a $149 Move Pass that never renews
   • Your documents never leave your hands

3. Which are the primary technologies used for building Relokato?

   Relokato is a web app. It runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, with nothing to install.

4. How would you describe the primary audience of Relokato?

   People moving abroad on their own, without a company relocation package:

   • Remote workers and digital nomads
   • Entrepreneurs and independent professionals
   • Families looking for a different quality of life
   • Retirees
   • People joining smaller companies abroad that don't offer relocation support

   That includes long-term moves that may not be permanent, like a two-year contract or a stay on a fixed-term visa. What they share is that they're organising the move themselves and want to know exactly which steps exist and in what order.

5. What's the story behind Relokato?

   I've moved internationally several times, always on my own, and I've helped people around me do the same. Every time, the hard part wasn't the research. It was not knowing what I didn't know: which documents to bring, which steps even existed, what had to happen before what, and whether a visa needed a lawyer or could be done yourself.

   After one of those moves, a friend said, "I don't know how you've done it with so many moves." That stuck with me. The tools available were either corporate relocation platforms for HR teams or services that sell individual paperwork steps. Nothing gave a self-directed mover the full picture, in order, with the official source for each step.

   So I built Relokato: the checklist I wish I'd had, with every official step sourced and dated.
