Being a stranger far away, especially if it is meant to be "forever", three things quickly become important at once: information, contacts and a piece of the "old homeland".

Information to better and faster find your way around in your new life and to avoid making mistakes with government agencies or when job hunting, which can cost time and money.

Contacts to better and faster integrate into the new life and quickly find connections in the new society.

A piece of the "Old Homeland"...?

However serious the reasons for deciding to begin a new life were, there are still things from your old life that you will not want to live without or that you will eventually begin to miss.

All of these points can be addressed by an Internet-Portal as a central communication and meeting point.
