ExpatSingles in short

ExpatSingles is an expat dating site for single adults who live abroad and want to date someone who understands that life. You create a free profile, say where you live now and what you are looking for, and ExpatSingles suggests members near you every day.

Why try online dating abroad?

Dating abroad starts with a handicap: your circle is new, the language or the customs can trip up a first date, and a mainstream app shows you everyone nearby, including people who are only visiting. Expat dating on ExpatSingles narrows the field to people who chose a life like yours, so a first message can start with where you live now rather than where you come from.

Who is ExpatSingles for?

ExpatSingles is for single adults aged 18 and over who live outside the country they grew up in, and for locals who would like to date someone with an international story. Whether you moved for a job, for study, for love or for a slower life in the sun, you can say so on your profile and meet people who made a similar move.

It runs in the browser on your phone or computer, and on a phone you can add it to your home screen like an app. Most members live in Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Ireland, the US, Canada, Spain, the UK, Singapore and Belgium, and you can join from anywhere. The city guides for London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid and Lisbon show the neighbourhoods expats live in and where they meet.

How it works

How expat dating works here

Four steps from a free profile to a first date in your new city.

  1. Make your free profile

  2. Get daily matches

    ExpatSingles suggests members near you every day, by age, distance and what you are looking for.

  3. Show you are real

    The ID check is free and adds a Verified badge. No documents to hand? A live video check with a moderator works too.

How ExpatSingles keeps you safe

Safety matters more when you are new in a country and your circle is still small.

  • Safe usernames

    You pick a username for your profile; your real name and your email address stay out of sight of other members.

    What it means Your profile is hard to trace to your social media.

  • Location privacy

    Members see the town or city closest to you. Your street address and where you are right now stay hidden.

    What it means Nobody can find your front door from your profile, even in a small expat neighbourhood.

  • Free ID and video checks

    Take the free ID check for a Verified badge, or a live video check with a moderator if you would rather not show documents.

    What it means You can see at a glance who has shown they are real.

  • Scam warnings

    When a match pushes to carry on over WhatsApp or another app, a classic romance-scam step, ExpatSingles notices and tells you.

    What it means You get a warning before the risky part starts.

  • AI and human moderation

    Photos, videos and text are screened on upload, and unusual activity is flagged automatically.

    What it means Fake and harmful profiles are caught earlier.

  • Block, report, get help

    One tap blocks a member for good, a report goes to the team from inside the site, and a real support team is on hand day and night.

    What it means You decide who can reach you.

What does ExpatSingles cost?

ExpatSingles costs nothing to join: a Classic profile, daily matches and the ID check are free. VIP, which makes messaging unlimited and shows you everyone who likes you, costs €44.95 or £24.95 for one month, and less per month on longer plans.

What is expat dating?

Expat dating is dating while you live in a country that is not your own, usually with other expats, internationals or locals who are open to someone from elsewhere. On ExpatSingles it means a profile that says where you live now, matches near you and people who already understand life abroad.

Who can join ExpatSingles?

Any single adult aged 18 or over can join ExpatSingles, whether you live abroad yourself or would like to date someone who does. You say who you are looking for when you sign up, and your daily matches reflect that.

Are the profiles on ExpatSingles real?

The profiles on ExpatSingles are made by members, and every member can take the free ID check or a live video check with a moderator to earn a badge. Look for the Verified badge, keep the chat on ExpatSingles until you have met, and never send money to someone you have not met. ExpatSingles also warns you when someone tries to move the conversation to another app.

Which countries can I use ExpatSingles in?

You can use ExpatSingles wherever you live, in the browser on your phone or computer. Most members live in Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Ireland, the US, Canada, Spain, the UK, Singapore and Belgium, and the city guides cover London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon and more.

Is there an ExpatSingles app?

ExpatSingles works as a web app: open it in your phone's browser, add it to your home screen, and it opens like any other app, with no app-store download. On a computer it runs in the browser.

Who can see my ExpatSingles profile?

Other ExpatSingles members can see your username, your photos and your nearest town. Your real name, your email and your exact address are never shown, and you can block or report anyone from within the site.
