Domiko: your flat in a new country

Moving abroad starts with one question: where will you live? Local sites are in an unfamiliar language, listings are scattered across dozens of chats, and you have no idea what fair prices look like. Domiko brings long-term rentals for relocants and expats into one catalog inside Telegram 🏠

About 3,500 people use the mini app every month. There is also a website, but the full feature set lives in Telegram.

Countries and cities covered

The catalog focuses on places people actually relocate to: Georgia, Vietnam, Thailand, Serbia, the UAE, Montenegro, Indonesia, Armenia and more.

Big cities have the most listings. When we checked, Da Nang had about 3,000, Batumi around 1,800, Nha Trang and Tbilisi roughly 1,700 and 1,600, Yerevan over 1,000 and Dubai about 900 🌍

Filter out the noise fast

• Filters. City, rooms, price and property details.
• Useful tags. Heating, pets allowed, dishwasher, oven, balcony.
• Sorting. Newest, most expensive or cheapest first.
• Map view. Helps you choose a neighborhood before choosing a flat.
• Favorites. Save options to compare later.

The pets tag is a real time saver. In some countries landlords are reluctant to take tenants with animals, and finding out at a viewing is frustrating 🐾

Message the owner directly

Each listing has a Message button. You talk to the owner or agent in Telegram, with no calls to foreign numbers and no sign ups on local portals.

Owners and agents can post listings themselves through a publishing section. That keeps the catalog fresh but means renters should stay alert.

What rent costs

As a reference point, long-term rentals in Batumi ranged from 400 to 1,250 US dollars a month depending on size, district and renovation. Domiko also has city market overviews with statistics and a currency page to recalculate your budget quickly 💵

How to avoid rental scams

1. No payment before a viewing. Never prepay to reserve a flat you have not seen in person or on a video call.
2. Compare with the market. A price far below the city average is a warning sign.
3. Ask for documents. Confirm who owns the property and sign a contract stating rent, term and deposit.
4. Photograph everything at move-in. Pictures of the condition help you get your deposit back.
5. Ask about utilities. Winter heating can raise costs noticeably in some cities.

Who Domiko is for

People who have already moved and need a long-term place, and people still planning a move who want to understand prices upfront. You can compare several cities from home before buying a ticket.

The catalog also includes properties for sale. If you are thinking of buying abroad, talk to a local lawyer first, since rules for foreigners vary by country.
