Colombia is my number 1 country for retirement but I have heard that there is a 35% tax on expats's income including pensions and social security incomes, if it is true, then it is a deal breaker.

I prefer my steak raw.

How can the steaks be so expensive??? The exchange rate is fantastic....

The cost table is missing the 3 employees that are mandatory for the visa.

You need to work on your audio. You either pound your table when you narrate or you need to speak into your mic differently. There’s any annoying noise when you speak making your vlog unwatchable.

I thought if you were on US disability you had to reside in the USA???

Good choices, but not all of these offee easy to get residemcy visas. Vietnam, for example, offers no residemcy visas, requiring frequent hops out of the country.

Where is the healthiest place. I'm searching for fresh fruit vegetables. I wouldn't be happy eating msg and I wouldn't want to offend anyone. I'm changing into 100 vegan. Any info is helpful. Thank you

Paraguay is much bigger than Germany + Switzerland. It's the size of California. It's a bit smaller in area than France.

Asunción is ok.. but too much traffic.. if you look beyond to smaller towns there are so many much nicer places!

Retirement goals: living in a place where $1500 feels like a king's budget. This list gives real hope

Argentina is famous for a dictatorship supported by the CIA and that killed thousands of people . 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

In Vietnam it is very difficult to obtain a long-term visa...

What a beautiful and informative video Re. -Marc

You look like your in the states.

I call Bullsh*t. One cannot live LAVISHLY, or like ROYALTY on of $1,50O per month in any of these countries. I know this to be factual as I have stayed in all these countries with the exception of Nepal. Remove the word LAVISHLY and then you may have an honest video. BTW, you might wish to look up the definition of a word before using it. So sick of these click bait, BS videos that make false claims and give people a false hope.

High elevation not necessarily goid for anyone with hear issues,chexk with your Dr.

I'm retired from Canada. I live in Pereira, Colombia a larger city. Where I found a 3 bedroom apartment in a 10 storey complex , a swimming pool , a grocery store just beside , restaurants at 3.50 lunch meals . My rent is 260$ a month+ internet gas water and electric is about another 50$. I rent year round but only stay there 6 months a year. I go with no visa just tourist , leave for 3 days after 3 months to Panama, or Ecuador and get another 3 months .

Good list! There are similar videos touting countries like Portugal, Greece, Thailand, and Mexico ... but unfortunately these places are no longer cheap. One suggestion: even more affordable than Cambodia is nearby Laos.

I agree you could live in those countries like a Queen for $1500/month.

Thank you

7% flat tax is great! Plus, Trump is the president now that he will propose “No Tax on Social Security!”, which is even better

Probably going to retire to Monaco. Looking at a permanent lease on the Presidential Suite at Hotel Monte Carlo. They have the biggest casino. I'll just do room service for most meals. I'll have my Social Security and about forty grand saved up.

would be nice to include info about medical expenses/insurance - for some people might be an important factor for choosing one country over another

I wonder if he has been to these countries. I'm in South East Asia now and I've Ben to most of these countries and I think he exaderates especially your first month's cost until you locate one of those less expensive apartments. He also forgets to mention the extreme pollution of Kathmandu, you will never see the mountains. Every morning they have to dust off everything a layer of smoke and dust dirt from the streets and anything left left outside. Then don't go look at the river it's raw sewage. Ask anyone who's been to Indonesia about the trash on the sides of the road.

Please , i am dying to know more about this place to retire.

I'll be "retiring" in Siem Reap, Cambodia 4/2025, with $260,000 in savings, NO debt and $3,300 static monthly income - YES

Great information and videos. Thank you. Happy New Year. Where are you calling home these days, or are you slow traveling?

I want to try them all lol!!! Thanks for the video

Nepal… amazing views and great Himalayan mountain trekking.

As soon as i heard your guests say they have Star Link, and therefore support the SA Nazi Evil f-Elon Musk, I moved on. Adios!

One cannot apply for permanent residency in Uruguay from the US. The Ur. Ministry of Immigration requires that you make application from Uruguay. You would then have to maintain 2 residences until approved. Very expensive! Good for Ur. hotels and restaurants.

Nice video. Nice to see how people see our country. Slovenia is not just Ljubljana, yes, its capital city, but you have to explore some more. I prefer living in a smaller city, you may laugh, but Ljubljana is to big and to crowded for me. Few years ago I was thinking to move to some other country, but I changed my mind. Slovenia is realy so comfortable to live in, I did not find anything similar. If you plan to move, do explore some other cities as well. Its worth it. Where ever you live in Slovenia, there is not more than a good hour to Ljubljana by car. And you can choose climate. Coast with higher temperatures and mild winter, colder mountain area of flat Panonia area.. or somewhere in the middle. Prices for houses are lower outside Ljubljana, expences somewhat the same. In general Ljubljana is few % more expensive than other cities. Something to think about. You asked for wifi.. its 20€ + a month. Same with cell phone. And many people speak english, but you will soon learn the language, at least basics. In any case, you are welcome.

If only she could stay on topic.

Health care is all right for small medical issues. If you have to get surgery however, you'll wish to be back in the US or any other advanced country.

I think these numbers are a little low for prices of rent and groceries. If you are living nice like this guy you will pay closer to 900 a month in rent and 500 a month on groceries for two people. I have lived in almost every city in Brazil now and only stay in the best neighborhoods and this is what you can expect. Maybe in the suburbs or outside the city center these prices are more realistic.

I love Colombia and plan to retire in Colombia in 8 years at the latest (I'm 50). But I still don't understand why many Colombians advise against moving to Colombia - even for my ex-wife, who is Colombian, it is and was unimaginable to live in Colombia again. Who is misjudging the situation? Just by the way: I pay well over 1000 EUR per month for my health insurance here. From the lower health insurance costs alone, I could lead an average good life in Colombia... apart from the fact that I love the country and its people... ♥️🇨🇴

CAN YOU SUGGEST TO ME AN ATTORNEY THAT CAN HELP ME GET A PENSION VISA!

Thanks. Very helpful for considering a move to Italy ☺️🇮🇹

MONTENEGRO--PERU---CAMBODIA=3

To understand why a foreigner who has not committed crime will not be deported from Argentina, neither heavily penalized if overdue on his/her visa, you must know the Argentinean national constitution: CONSTITUTION OF THE ARGENTINE NATION; PREAMBLE: We, the representatives of the people of the Argentine Nation, gathered in General Constituent Assembly by the will and election of the Provinces which compose it, in fulfilment of pre-existing pacts, in order to form a national union, guarantee justice, secure domestic peace, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves, to our posterity, and to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil: invoking the protection of God, source of all reason and justice: do ordain, decree, and establish this Constitution for the Argentine Nation. The key take is: “... and to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil…”, which means that allowance to live in Argentina comes down protected straight from national constitution.

The health services are about to change for foreigners, you will need to prove that you are a properly settle resident, this happens because so far Argentina has been too extremely a generous country, arguably the most generous country in the world; and this is not an hyperbolic and bombastic statement. What country in the world provides FREE medical services in public hospitals to 3000 per month non-resident foreigners? Well, Argentina does it in the province of Jujuy and Salta, the provinces that border Bolivia. Every month, 3000 Bolivians living in Bolivia cross to Salta and Jujuy for FREE medical treatment. That has to stop, but because the current despicable woke agendas those Bolivians could not be denied medical services. Argentinean hospitals are so far not backed by a legislation that allows them to determine who is entitled to medical services and who is not. Although not in the whooping numbers as the Bolivians in Salta and Jujuy, also Chileans cross the border in Patagonian provinces to milk the medical services of Argentinean hospitals and health centres. Furthermore, what country in the world provides FREE university education to foreigners that on completion of their studies then return to their countries? Well, Argentina does. I don’t have the figures, but they are in the many thousands of university students from the whole of Spanish speaking countries of the American* continent. If you want to study in Argentina, all what you need are certificates of previous studies and certified previously studies syllabuses and that’s it, you are in. That has to stop, Argentina is not a rich a country that can afford that. And even worse, except the Brazilians, all other neighbouring countries hate the Argentineans and call us arrogant, racists and petulant; yet the enjoy and have a great time coming to milk away Argentina. The above described situation have been going on for many decades, since century XIX I would say. However, as it happened far away in the provinces, the politicians in Buenos Aires never gave a damn about those problems. However, since the Special Military Operation in Jewkraine began, there has been a massive influx of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians to Buenos Aires, also to milk away the Argentinean generosity and to obtain world-widely accepted Argentinean passport through giving birth in Argentina. That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back and thus is that a legislation is coming up about health and education services for foreigners.

San luis and cordoba provinces have very beautiful and safe towns, villa Carlos Paz in cordoba is one of them

Mendoza appears like a nice city for retirement in Argentina. Cost of living seems low. Spanish might be necessary for gringos to be able to negotiate rentals ? Few US expats seem like they want to live there - not sure why it isn't more popular than it is ? Perhaps not enough English speaking locals for some US expats. Rents aren't really the cheapest compared to S E Asia ?

Sound like any foreigner has to live under the rule of bureaucrats of dubious competence and honest. That's not for me.

Your referring to retirement yet don't mention health care.?..is it safe..? do they tax on pension.?... not very informative.. also Cambodia has a high pesticide use of foods....This is very limited information
