Expats & Nomads: A Library That Grows Every Day
Our Expats & Nomads track is written for people making a move: where to live, how to obtain residency, what it costs and how taxes, banking and healthcare work. It grows every day with news, country explainers and members-only guides, and it is our fastest-growing source of search traffic.
A combination no one else offers. In our October 2026 review of more than 30 English-language outlets, The Rio Times was the only one pairing a daily Latin America and Africa newsroom with a daily expat and nomad guide and country explainers. Our publishing pace on expat and nomad topics was the highest we found.

Why Sponsor The Rio Times
Quality over volume. Our audience is defined by who they are, not by how many they are. Few outlets bring together bankers, analysts, officials and investors focused on Latin America in English.
American readers, Latin American subjects. Close to half of our readership is in the United States, following Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and the rest of the region from abroad.
Readers with intent. Our country guides cover visas, residency, taxes, healthcare, banking and cost of living. The people who read them are planning a move, an investment or a business.
A clean environment. We carry no programmatic advertising. Your brand appears in a fixed, exclusive position, never next to a rotation of unrelated ads.
A trusted masthead. Seventeen years of continuous publication and a two-stage fact check on every article before it goes online.
Measured results. Every sponsor receives a monthly report of impressions and clicks for each placement.
