Legal Notice & Financial Disclaimer

1. Use of content

BorderCents publishes independent research about moving to the UAE, Spain, Portugal and Thailand. Guides draw on public government and regulatory material, provider terms and clearly identified examples. Public availability of a source does not mean that it is free of copyright.

Read the conditions alongside a headline rate or threshold. City scores are editorial comparison aids, not official rankings, eligibility decisions or measured probabilities. Household examples and cost assumptions are illustrations unless expressly identified otherwise.

2. Images & third-party material

Photo captions identify sources, including Unsplash, and link to relevant credits or licence information. Flags and map data may have separate attribution requirements. Rights in third-party photographs, maps, logos, fonts and source documents remain with their respective owners.

A credit is not an endorsement or a licence to reuse an asset yourself. We do not claim a Shutterstock commercial licence for images without an asset-specific licence record. If you believe material has been used incorrectly, the contact page explains our corrections channel.

3. Financial, tax, legal & immigration disclaimer

All guides, checklists, comparisons and interactive tools are for general information and educational modeling. BorderCents is not a personalized advisory service and does not establish an adviser–client relationship.

• No personal professional advice. A general guide cannot determine your tax residence, right to work, visa eligibility, mortgage approval or insurance cover. Citizenship, physical presence, contracts, family circumstances and applicable treaties can change the answer.
• Estimates have limits. The budget explorer, move-in calculator, salary comparisons and 90-day Blueprint use your inputs and disclosed assumptions. They may exclude other-country tax, social contributions, fees or obligations that have not been established. Investment scenarios are not guaranteed returns.
• Check before committing. Confirm current rules with the responsible authority and provider, and obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional where your circumstances matter.
• Responsibility. We aim to explain sources accurately but cannot guarantee that every rule, price or external page remains current. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we limit responsibility for losses from reliance on general information. Nothing here excludes liability, consumer protections or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
• External links. Other sites control their own content, privacy and services. A link is not a guarantee or endorsement. We do not control their changes.

4. Copyright & acceptable use

Rights in original BorderCents material are reserved to the extent applicable law protects that material. Third-party rights and licences remain separate. Do not imply that BorderCents endorses your service, remove material source qualifications, interfere with the site or misuse another person's information.

You may link to public pages. Reuse must respect applicable licences, quotation rights and other statutory exceptions; permission may be needed for substantial republication or commercial use. This notice does not claim ownership of government rules or override rights granted by law.

5. Questions & dispute resolution

For a factual issue, identify the page, exact claim and supporting source using the contact route when available. Applicable statutory remedies remain unaffected.

The European Commission's former Online Dispute Resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025. It is not an available complaint route. The Commission now provides consumer-redress information. Any operator-specific arbitration obligations must be established once the publisher's legal details are supplied.

6. AI assistance & editorial responsibility

AI tools assist drafting, organization, editing and software development. The publisher personally reads and reviews the articles before publication. That review is not a claim that every guide has been independently audited by a licensed professional.

Calculators execute programmed formulas rather than asking a live AI model for an answer. Read our AI Transparency Notice and editorial standards for the distinction between sources, assumptions, review and testing.
