The expat dating app that is free to start
ExpatSingles opens in the browser on your phone or computer, and you can pin it to your home screen. Here is what the free plan covers, what VIP and VIP Plus add, and the privacy tools that come with every account.
- Nothing to install
- Free plan for everyone
- Messages included every day
- Verification at no cost
In short
ExpatSingles is an expat dating app that costs nothing to start: build your profile, see new suggestions each day, verify yourself for free and write a few messages a day, with the group chat rooms open once you are verified. VIP removes the message limit, and VIP Plus moves you to the front of other members' suggestions.
- Classic, the free plan: photos, interests, daily suggestions, badges, a daily message allowance and the chat rooms after verification.
- VIP: unlimited messaging, the list of members who like you, city and distance filters and private group chats.
- VIP Plus: all of VIP, with exclusive matches and pole position in other members' daily suggestions.
- For everyone: a username instead of your name, and only your nearest town on show.
What you can do on the free plan
Your profile, your story
Upload photos, add where you live now and where home used to be, and pick interests such as Language Exchange, Working Abroad or Intercultural Love. Posting status updates and new pictures costs nothing either.
New suggestions every day
The app looks at your age range, the distance you set, your interests and the kind of relationship you want, from friendship to something serious, and proposes members who fit. Browsing everyone else is open too.
Badges, messages and chat rooms
Show you are genuine
Verifying with an ID document is free. Prefer to keep documents out of it? A quick live video call with a moderator, or a review of your profile by the team, gets you a badge as well.
Messages and chat rooms
On the free plan you can send a few messages every day and always answer VIP members. Verify your profile and the group chat rooms open up, a relaxed way to meet several people at once.

International chat rooms for expats
Group chat rooms are the international chat rooms of ExpatSingles: members from many countries in one conversation, usually in English and often about everyday topics, from finding a flat to finding a dentist. They are moderated, and free members can join once their profile is verified. VIP adds chat rooms reserved for VIP members and the option to start a private group chat with up to 50 people, useful for organising a meetup.
Is there an ExpatSingles app to download?
ExpatSingles opens in the web browser of a phone, tablet or computer, so there is no app store download. Save it to your phone's home screen and it starts like any other app, with the same profile, messages and suggestions on every device you use.
Privacy and safety
Protection that comes with every plan
All of it is included, free or paid.
-
Known by a username
Your real name and email address are never shown to other members.
-
Your town, not your door
Members see the nearest town or city, never your street or where you are right now.
-
Block in one tap
Once blocked, a member cannot message you or view your profile any more.
-
Report from anywhere
Flag a profile or a message right where you see it, and the team takes a look.
-
Scam alerts
An alert appears when a match tries to take the chat to WhatsApp or a similar app.
-
Moderated uploads
Software and real people screen photos, videos and messages as they are posted.
One month of VIP in your currency
Joining is free everywhere. Should you pick VIP, the table shows one month in the currencies most members pay in; the country pages list the longer plans, which work out cheaper per month.
| Currency | VIP, 1 month |
|---|---|
| Euro (Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Ireland, Belgium) | €44.95 |
| Pounds sterling (United Kingdom) | £24.95 |
| US dollars (United States) | US$39.95 |
| Canadian dollars (Canada) | C$39.95 |
| Australian dollars (Australia) | A$64.95 |
VIP on a monthly plan renews every month until you stop it. The weekly, three-month and six-month plans renew the same way; only the 12-month plan is a one-off payment.
