There is no “retirement visa” or TRP for Montenegro where you only have to show proof of income. There must be some type of basis for the TRP; real estate ownership, employment in a local company, family reunification, medical treatment, enrolment in a school etc. Also, I think the minimum level of income you’ve converted into USD is 450 Euros, which was the previous national minimum salary for a full time employee. This is now 600 Euros per month, but it still doesn’t apply to retirees proving their foreign income level or pension income.

[@adventurefreaksss]

@@jonathanhowe6485 Thank you for this additional information!

[@thailandmalcolm]

Great video; everyone is moving overseas. I live in Thailand. I live in an older condo in Pattaya (a 5-minute scooter ride to the beach). It is all concrete, so the rooms are quiet (I have a video of the condo). I am on the ninth floor, so the sunsets are great, and I do not have much trouble with mosquitoes or road noise. We have a large pool with a slide. There is a restaurant by the pool; most meals are 3-7 dollars. My rent is $207/month. I have a new wall unit A/C, that I run 24/7 and my electric bill is $30/month. My room is 270 square feet or 30 square meters. It has plenty of room for a single guy. I have no plans to move back to the States.

Why Live in Cambodia? You can pay $290 for a multiple-entry, 12-month visa if you’re 55 or older. The visa is renewable every year for the rest of your life and you NEVER need to leave the country. No bank account to open. No deposit required. No income-qualifying. No background check. No health certificate. No reporting in to Immigration regularly like in Thailand. It’s the easiest, cheapest, most uncomplicated visa in all of southeast Asia. The US dollar is used and English is widely understood. Siem Reap is clean and well-maintained with good roads. Friendly, smiling people are the norm here. It’s hot but manageable! december and January are actually cool.

[@rodgertim2881]

I’ve been doing some research on places to retire that are more affordable, especially if you’re relying mostly on Social Security. There are so many options out there, from staying in the U.S. to moving abroad, but it’s hard to know where you’ll really get the most value for your money

[@John-vf8qe]

There are countries like Mexico or Portugal that are constantly on those “best places to retire on a budget” lists. They offer a lower cost of living, decent healthcare, and a good quality of life

[@NelleHummell]

But moving abroad is a big decision, there’s more to it than just the cost of living

[@DianaTownsend-kj5kj]

A lot of people jump at the idea of moving abroad because of how affordable it can be, but you have to consider things like healthcare quality, language barriers, and how stable the country is politically

[@georgeearling905]

You want to make sure your money goes far, but also that you feel comfortable and secure

[@lestaridalhaar3907]

I’ve been to Montenegro, and it isn’t cheap.

[@adventurefreaksss]

What part of Montenegro were you in?

[@ZdravkoPušić]

[@kayeemms3068]

@@matt3024 Yes, it's cheap alright but what are the standards? If its breeze block living in a building full of families with children and smoking in residences, just what is the noise level and the air quality like? I'd pay approx. $3,000 Cdn. to rent a 1-bed condo in Toronto that would suit. I don't believe that kind of quality is obtainable for only several hundred/month anywhere.

[@peterbedford2610]

Retirement for most means you're over 60. Healthcare plays a much bigger part of decision making.

[@alrent2992]

Then, modify to a better diet. Stop consuming junk food. Healthcare is much less $$$ outside of the u.s.

[@Traveler-po3oe]

When it comes to Montenegro, the tax on my income is 15%. But the added local surtax is a minimum of an additional 13% to 15%. Beautiful country, but the taxes make it unreasonable to retire there. I've looked into many different countries to retire to. There are far too many that have (IMHO) unreasonable taxes.

[@joecartagena1525]

Colombia is around 35% as well.

[@Broke_Expat]

Tax on your pension from your home country ? Or income you are currently earning?

[@destinationmax]

@@Broke_Expat For Montenegro it’s only on income not your Social Security or pension.

[@YogaBlissDance]

@@destinationmax Thank you for that clarification, folks often post negative stuff that they havent' researched IF it applies under all conditions. And you helped make it clear that his concept "retirement on social..." is doable...

[@jonathanhowe6485]

This is not the case. You’ll only be taxed on worldwide income if you because a tax resident there which doesn’t happen automatically. Also, the surtax is a percentage of the income tax bill, not income. If you income tax bill was $100, then you’d pay an additional $13 to $15 in Surtax. Even if you had your pension paid to you in Montenegro, pensions are not taxed here.

[@SenorJuan2023]

I'll probably go to Arequipa, Peru this year. Was going to Buenos Aires, but's it's getting relatively expensive.

It would be helpful to create a set of applicable, important retirement criteria first to measure recommendations against. I’ve just returned from a second fact-finding Montenegro trip, and things are just not as simple as expressed. Falls short on many important issues, such as quality (and availability) of healthcare, connectivity, access to foreign embassies, etc. You can make your channel stand out from the multiple others that offer the same, superficial retirement destination advice by really digging into the real issues.

[@adventurefreaksss]

I appreciate your input. The issue however is what you consider quality healthcare and what we do and others may be different. We try to provide data as accurately as possible to help retirees make the best informed decision. Many expats that have moved to Montenegro love it there and there continues to be a flow of new people moving there due to the factors we covered:). Thanks again and keep us posted on your search!

[@michieldelange]

@ I appreciate your response, thanks. Guess what I’m trying to say is that a set of criteria that all destinations you cover can be measured against would be objectively welcomed - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’ve been an expat for 22 years myself, but finding a best-fit final destination is tough if you know what to look for from a multitude of experiences gained from living in several countries. All the best.

Language issues for old expats aren't going to be very comfortable in 2 of these ! --- Cambodia is a real deal - especially in Siem Reap. A number of Khmer people there speak English and food choices are plentiful - both cheap street food and international places with English menus and prices in USD ! The over 55 visa for retirement is the best and easiest in the world that I have seen. By far the best 'value' - if - you don't speak Spanish !!! 🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/boScepljdpKqhtEsi=gT1Eir4JiD-rH8Ox kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3PqaGaoKiDZ7Msi=9C4oSTqUz-19X4Rn kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJTUmIJngrl3iJYsi=2OaLcrICn2KwV6sX

American in Montenegro for several years. It is an extremely safe place. But they are stupidly over-building the coastal area and will eventually drive tourists away as the few main roads become parking lots in summer.

[@adventurefreaksss]

@@jackflanagle6079 Thanks for sharing this! I'm guessing this is around Kotor?

[@jackflanagle6079]

@@adventurefreaksss The Herceg Novi, Tivat and Budva areas are the worst places with non-stop mega projects that the woefully inadequate road system can't possibly continue to accommodate in the tourist season. The immediate Kotor area is pretty well now built out and never had much space to begin with as the mountains rise very steep off the water. (But yeah, traffic sucks there as well). The people who could prevent this want money NOW and could care less what happens in the future.

I have lived in Cambodia for seven years. There is a downside to it being cheap and the visa easy. This attracts a lot of old men who were unsuccessful in life due to personality issues and alcoholism. They spend all of their time sitting in bars drinking cheap beer. They exploit poor women. Thailand changed their visa requirements to get rid of these guys. Many moved to Cambodia. There has been some discussion the Cambodia might tighten the requirements so a person would have to demonstrate sufficient income. Thailand requires about $1800 a month plus show that you have $20,000+ in the bank. I hope that happens. You mentioned that a person has to show $1000 a month. That is inaccurate. You don’t have to show any income currently.

[@KB3TLE]

Have you wondered 'what' those women who got 'exploited' (?) would do w/o them ? --- Or the $ these guys spent on the cheap beer - and surely some food and other ''essentials'' - would be replaced by what or by who ? > There are always 2 sides to a coin ? 🤔
