What we’re about
Meet other Overseas Americans. Share your experiences and lessons as an American living abroad.
In AARO MeetUps not only do we enjoy meeting each other, we also have lively discussions on issues affecting overseas Americans - from taxes to voting to citizenship to whatever else is on your mind.
For over 50 years this non-profit, non-partisan volunteer association has been informing fellow Americans about our issues living abroad and advocating for our concerns.
If you are not yet a member of the AARO Association, we encourage you to become a member today. Not only would you join part of a global community of concerned and committed U.S. citizens but you would also be supporting AARO’s work to defend the interests of those citizens.
And there are real immediate benefits to the AARO Association membership! Check them out here on AARO's web site: https://www.aaro.org/membership/aaro-member-benefits

See all- Association of Americans Resident Overseas (Madrid) Saturday LunchTxirimiri, Madrid
American expats and potential future American expats in Madrid: please join us for a third Madrid lunch with AARO, a non-profit, non-partisan association that has championed the interests of Americans abroad since 1973. The lunch will be casual, a chance to meet other Americans living in Spain and to chat informally about issues affecting U.S. expats in Europe: visas, taxation, voting, dining, tourism, whatever comes to mind.
You don't have to be an AARO member to sign up, but are certainly encouraged to join. Ten thousand more Americans moved to Spain between 2022 and 2024 alone. We share common concerns about taxation, banking, voting, Social Security and other matters. AARO is the best-established, non-partisan, Europe-based organization in our corner. We don't have to stick together, but will be better off if we do!
The venue: the Ibiza branch of Txirmiri, a Spanish/Basque restaurant a few blocks east of Retiro Park and the Ibiza station on the 9 metro line. The menu, in English: https://txirimiri.es/restaurant-menu/ . Participants will be responsible for paying for their own food and drinks.
