About Intl Chat

What we do

Intl Chat answers questions from international students, expats and new migrants in any country: visas and visa conditions, health and visa insurance, banking, sending money, tax, renting, phones, driving licences and work rights. Each answer gives the short answer first, the conditions that change it, and a link to the official page that sets the rule.

Who runs it

Intl Chat is operated by UNILINK, an education and migration services group with entities in Australia, China and the UK. UNILINK advisors can help when a question needs a person — for example a registered migration agent for an Australian visa matter. You can check any Australian registered migration agent's number on the official OMARA register.

How answers are written

• Answers are drafted with AI assistance from official sources, then checked against those sources before they are published.
• Every answer says which country it applies to and links the source; if we cannot find an official source for a rule, we do not state it.
• The on-site assistant answers new questions straight away. It is an AI assistant, and it tells you when a question needs a licensed professional.

What we are not

We are not a government agency, a bank or an insurer, and answers are general information rather than personal legal, migration, tax or financial advice. See the disclosure page for how partner links and insurance information work.
