## Description

Farang is the all-in-one app for digital nomads, expats, and travelers who stay long enough to stop being tourists - whether that's six weeks, six months, or six years..

Farang is how you actually meet people and build a life abroad - for digital nomads, expats, and travelers who stay long enough to stop being tourists, whether that's six weeks, six months, or six years.

Live anywhere in our 13 destinations: Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Portugal, Spain, Georgia, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. Switch between them in seconds - the whole app adapts to your destination.

MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY HERE

See who's around:
- Real foreigners physically in your city right now - not a global Discord where half the people left in 2019
- Opt in to appear on the map, see who else is nearby, and tap through to their profile
- Your call, always: share your presence only when you want to

Show up - Events:
- Run clubs, beach BBQs, photo walks, sparring sessions, sunset yoga - hosted by people on the ground
- Find events near you right on the map
- Public events with one-tap RSVP, or closed events the host approves
- Every plan has its own group chat, so the crew sorts out the details in one place

Find your people - Groups:
- Join groups around what you're actually into: Muay Thai gyms, run clubs, dance classes, language exchanges, parents' groups, entrepreneur circles, whatever
- Discover by city, interest, or visa type
- Build your own if the one you need doesn't exist yet

Ask anything - Forum:
- The questions you'd otherwise drop into five Facebook groups: visas, housing, banking, dating, schools, scams, healthcare, transport, food, and 30+ more
- Hashtags adapt per country - DTV and TM30 in Thailand, FMM and Temporary Resident in Mexico, Schengen and D7 in Portugal
- Upvote what's useful, leave what isn't

AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED

Visa tracking that actually keeps up:
- Country-specific visas covered: Thailand (DTV, LTR, Elite, retirement, marriage, work, education, tourist), Vietnam (E-Visa, Visa Exempt, DL Visa), Indonesia (VOA, B211A, KITAS), Philippines (Tourist, SRRV), Mexico (FMM, Temporary/Permanent Resident), Spain & Portugal (Schengen 90/180, D7, Digital Nomad, Golden Visa), Colombia (M, R, Tourist)
- Smart reminders before your stamp expires and before your 90-day TM.47 is due (Pro)
- Log extensions and border runs - your countdown adjusts on its own

A simplified map of what you actually need:
- Coworking, gyms, restaurants, ATMs, hospitals, pharmacies, cafes, massage, supermarkets, and more - wherever you are
- Reorder categories so your most-used show first; hide the ones you don't care about
- Save your favourite spots and download areas for offline use

Convert anything to your home currency (and back):
- Live conversion in your destination's local currency - THB, VND, JPY, KRW, EUR, MXN, COP, BRL, and more
- Customisable currency slots so your most-used pairs are one tap away (Pro: 4 slots, Free: 2)
- Add custom units for whatever's specific to your life here (Pro)

Translate that you can actually use:
- Type, speak, or point your camera at menus, signs, contracts, receipts
- Works in your destination's language: Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Tagalog, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Georgian
- On-device OCR for instant translation - no internet required for menus and signs

Learn the local language without burning out:
- Hundreds of phrases per country across 13 categories - greetings, food, money, taxi, emergency, dating, and more
- Flashcards and Quick Quiz free; Sentence Builder, Memory Match, Listen & Pick, and Scenario Drill unlock with Pro
- Spaced repetition + streaks for the days you need a nudge

WHO IT'S FOR
Digital nomads city-hopping across SE Asia, Europe, and Latin America
Long-stay travelers on visa programs like DTV, FMM 180, D7, Digital Nomad Visa, Schengen 90/180
Expats settled long-term with marriage, work, retirement, or residency visas
