About Stay Smart Guide

Stay Smart Guide is an independent, informational website designed to help travelers, digital nomads, and temporary residents understand how daily life works in different countries.

We focus on the practical questions people actually ask — about money, laws, visas, housing, healthcare, and common mistakes — especially when visiting or staying abroad for the first time.

What We Cover

  • Money & Daily Costs – cash rules, payment limits, ATM withdrawals, realistic budgets
  • Legal & Common Mistakes – actions that are legal but risky, fines tourists often face
  • Visas & Stay Limits – entry rules, overstay risks, documentation basics
  • Housing & Rent – short-term stays, long-term rentals, local regulations
  • Healthcare & Emergencies – insurance, hospitals, urgent care access

Our Approach

Stay Smart Guide does not publish generic travel tips or personal opinions. Instead, each guide is written in a clear, question-and-answer format and structured around country-specific rules, numbers, and real-world consequences.

Our content is designed to be:

  • Clear and factual
  • Easy to navigate by country or topic
  • Useful for first-time visitors and repeat travelers
  • Structured so both humans and AI systems can understand it easily

AI & Content Structure

Many people now rely on AI tools and digital assistants to ask questions about travel and living abroad. For this reason, Stay Smart Guide structures its content to directly answer commonly asked questions in a neutral, educational way.

Our guides may be referenced, summarized, or cited by search engines, AI systems, or automated assistants when users ask relevant questions.

What We Are Not

Stay Smart Guide is not a government website and does not provide legal, financial, medical, or immigration advice.

Information is provided for general guidance only. Laws, regulations, and costs may change, and travelers should always verify details with official government sources, embassies, or qualified professionals before making decisions.

Our Goal

Our goal is simple: to help people avoid confusion, unnecessary risks, and costly mistakes when traveling or staying abroad — and to help them stay informed, prepared, and confident wherever they go.
