FAQ

How to read this pulse

Where does this community pulse come from?

SetTern synthesises recent public relocation and expat forum discussion plus news/policy signals into short city digests. It is not a government source and not legal advice.

How often is it updated?

Pulses refresh on a rolling schedule (typically every few hours when new discussion clears our relevance gates). Each city page shows the as-of date.

Should I make a move decision from forum mood alone?

No. Use the pulse to spot themes early, then verify rent, visas, and fees on the linked city guide, methodology, and official portals.
