Advertising Disclosure

Retirement Abroad UK is free to read and is funded by advertising. This page explains exactly what on the site is paid for, how you can tell, and what advertisers get — and do not get — for their money. It is published by Multiligo Ltd (Multiligo Reklam Bilişim Pazarlama ve Danışmanlık Limited Şirketi, Istanbul), and it supplements our ownership and advertising statement and Disclaimer.

1. What is paid for

At the date above there is one paid placement on the site: a sponsored offer for dental treatment in antalya, türkiye from a private dental clinic. It appears in two places on every page:

a bar fixed to the bottom of the screen, which you can close (your choice is remembered in your browser — see the Cookie Policy);
a band directly above the footer.

Both carry a visible “Sponsored” label. The button in each opens a WhatsApp chat with the advertiser (+90 535 399 89 99), not a page of ours; the message you send goes to the clinic, not to us. The link is marked rel="sponsored" so that search engines treat it as advertising. Any enquiry, quote, treatment or contract that follows is between you and the clinic — we are not a party to it, we do not vet individual treatment plans, and we receive no commission on anything you go on to buy.

If we add a further paid placement, this page will list it before it goes live.

2. What is editorial

Everything else is editorial: every destination page, every guide, the “Find My Country” wizard, the cost-of-living comparisons, the FAQ and the glossary. Editorial content is researched and written by our editors from GOV.UK, DWP, embassy, tax-authority and statistics-office sources under the standards on our About page, and it is never written, commissioned or paid for by an advertiser.

3. What advertisers cannot do

Advertisers do not see content before it is published and cannot ask for changes afterwards.
Advertising has no effect on rankings, scores, cost figures or which countries we cover. Our dental sponsor operates in Türkiye; Türkiye's place on the site is set by the same scoring as every other country, and its guide says plainly where the country falls short.
An advertiser is never mentioned inside a guide. If you see a clinic, agent, broker or product named in editorial text it is there on merit or as an example, not because anyone paid.
We do not sell reviews, endorsements or “recommended provider” badges, and we do not accept payment to remove or soften anything we have published.

4. No affiliate links, no commissions

We do not use affiliate links. When we link to a government site, an embassy, a currency broker, an insurer or anyone else inside editorial content, we are not paid for the click and we are not paid if you become a customer. The only money the site earns is the flat fee paid by the advertiser for the placement described in section 1.

5. How to identify sponsored content

It carries a “Sponsored” label in the top corner of the placement.
It sits in a visually separate panel — the fixed bottom bar or the tinted band above the footer — never inside the body text of a guide.
Its links open in a new tab, carry rel="sponsored", and go to the advertiser.
Nothing that lacks that label is paid for.

6. Why we accept advertising

Verifying pension rates, visa thresholds and tax rules across Retirement Abroad UK's destinations every year costs money, and we would rather carry one clearly labelled advertisement than charge readers, sell their data, or take commissions that would give us a reason to steer you towards a particular product. Advertising lets us keep the guides free and independent; this page is how we keep the arrangement honest.

7. Questions or concerns

If you think a placement is unclear, mislabelled, or has influenced something we have written, email info@multiligo.com or use the contact form. Complaints about the advertiser's own claims can also be made to the UK Advertising Standards Authority (asa.org.uk). Corrections to editorial content follow our corrections policy.
