This format is designed to help you find the most suitable cities and countries for your relocation. We start with an in-take session analyzing your case, discussing risks, limitations, opportunities, and timeframes and identifying suitable ways to obtain residence permits. Most importantly, we help you determine which criteria matter most to you when choosing the place to live, and then proceed to form a list of parameters that we will use to evaluate 150 cities from 70+ countries around the world.
Using our multifactor model, we will prepare your personalized ranking of the best cities for living. We will also provide a detailed comparison of the top 3 locations so that you understand the trade-offs you face when choosing each option. You can look at a sample report on our website.
During our second session, we will discuss the results and answer your questions about the report and the data, as well as about employment, healthcare, and education in the top-3 locations. We will also explain what might not be reflected by the data and how to minimize the risks that concern you, and help you create an actionable plan outlining your next steps.
Final result: You will get a report containing your personal custom-built Best cities ranking along with an in-depth comparison of the top 3 locations.

hierarchy, collectivism/individualism, and uncertainty;
religion and child-rearing;
women's and minority rights;
trust in others.

My request to Vasily was for an in-depth comparison of relocation options I had in mind and suggestions of any relevant places I might've missed. After an hour-long interview, he outlined my personal shortlist of locations, including places I’ve missed. His report provided the tradeoffs in choosing one city over another. A thorough follow-up conversation cleared up all the questions I had regarding residence permits, double citizenships, other challenges a new expat might face.

Greener Relocation helped me in two ways: firstly, they’ve dealt with my tunnel vision when I was considering very few locations. Secondly, their comparison goes way beyond stereotypes and individual cases into the data. They also introduced a certain structure to the way I am thinking about relocation. I wish they had more information on the job markets in their packages, but even without it is still worth the money.

I had a choice of a few cities around the world for intracompany relocation and needed to weigh the pros and cons of each. Greener Relocation did precisely that. They have their methodologies and know all necessary sources of data. A follow-up consultation proved to be quite useful, too.

Working with Greener Relocation turned out to be a unique opportunity to discuss what is really important in a place to live for both me and my partner. Well-formulated, calibrated questions proved helpful. The need to numerically assess significance of different parameters by allocating a fixed number of points to them allowed us to reflect together on what is truly crucial for us and what is secondary. This took us took us closer to consciously choosing where we want to live and why. The meetings and interviews were also very useful, provided us with an opportunity to ask questions about different cities and their characteristics that we were not aware of and to hear about the difficulties other people face when moving to another country. The report and analysis really helps to think in a structured way about relocation, gives subjectivity, and, yes, helps to imagine the impending changes.

I asked for help in selecting the city and country according to my preferences. Performing similar research at that level on my own could have taken ages, let alone the stress. Before the consultation, I didn't know much about Portugal, and the reviews I've heard where not very good at the time, many saying that the country was poor and shabby. Now, it has already been 1.5 years since I've moved to Lisbon. The parameters that we discussed during the session with Vasily appeared to reflect with reality quite well, so I'm indeed satisfied with the relocation! I definitely want to meet my old age here.

Choosing your new location is choosing your future
We know just too well how much money, time, and nerves does it take to choose a country, relocate, and make new place your home. We know the price of a mistake, so we use an approach similar to the one used in big business to make decisions worth billions of dollars to minimize the risk of making this mistake.
We structure the decision-making process around defining the goals, assessing opportunities and limitations, and measuring key decision parameters. We do the analytical part customizing our multi-factor model to your requirements, so that you could focus on making the deicision that will define the rest of your life.
Who we are
In my professional career, I deal with data to help investors and top managers face decisions that cost millions of dollars. In 2021, I’ve officially launched Greener Relocation to handle the analytics part for you, to help you make a better-informed choice that defines the rest of your life – that of your next place to live.
I have been living and doing business in different countries. My friends are staying all around the globe, many a long way from the places they were born. I know how tough the choice, and the road, and the settling down may be. And I’ve seen quite a few mismatches, when the chosen location didn’t fit the particular people, taking them back to square one less the time, the money, and the nerves wasted. No wonder! People select their next dishwasher more thoroughly than they do their next country.

Questions and answers

What can data possibly tell about whether I will like a particular city?
Can you consider countries’ immigration procedures while making your analysis?
What if I am undecided whether I really should move abroad?
Will you help me apply for the visa, get a residence permit, rent a flat, open a bank account?
Data allows us to assess which locations score best across the criteria you choose. Top score doesn’t mean that you will necessarily fall in love with the place. However, it minimizes the risk of you moving someplace where you certainly wouldn’t want to stay for long, simply because it doesn't satisfy your most critical requirements. So, if you don't have a dream destination yet, it totally makes sense to take a chance on some places that, at least, meet your rational requirements
Partly. We can consider availability of particular kinds of visas and residence permits e.g., startup visas, self-employed visas, investment residence, and so on. We also can factor in minimum required residency term before applying for the citizenship. However, we do not have reliable data on current processing times, refusal rates, nor can we assess your personal chances of getting the visa or residence permit in any particular country.
Then it definitely makes sense to sign up for an individual consultation. During the session, we will discuss together what prompted you to consider relocating abroad, your pros and cons, and possible obstacles. We will also discuss the immigration options available to you and help you create a clear decision-making framework and an action plan.
No. We do not help with any of that. However, for many countries we can recommend local advisors, lawyers, real estate agents who might be of help to you.
